I went to the outlet at San Marcos, Texas at midnight Thursday/Friday. I live in Houston, so we left our house around 9:30 to get there (it takes about 3 hours). I figured it would be busy, but I never imagined the chaos we were going to see, or all the TONS of people!! There was a line out the door at
Coach (IMO they were doing it smart, only letting in 10 people at a time after some people left to regulate it somehow). We got in fairly quickly, after waiting about 20 minutes in line. As soon as we got in, my husband made a mad dash for the end of the register line (which, BTW, took 2 and a half hours to get through!!

). A good part of the line had people buying 6-8 of the same items. Grrrr... I admit I was worried that everything would be gone, but they must have had a HUGE stock in back because there was a pretty good selection. I came home with a large shopping bag full of stuff, which my cat had a little too much fun with:

We didn't get home till around 11 am the next morning. I'm still trying to catch up on sleep.

Here are pics of my purchases. After looking back, I'm glad I went, because I was able to pick up the brown soho in pic # 1 & 3 that I've been looking for forever. I got the last one.

Total damage at coach = $462.
