WizardHowl · 05/26/2009, 03:40 PM

Ahhh i'd do anything to be there

jp22382 · 05/26/2009, 03:45 PM

Y'know, I really have to wonder if they would turn away a new customer leaving Verizon with cash in hand. Aka me.

One way to find out I suppose

mikeh20 · 05/26/2009, 05:52 PM

Awesome...thanks!

laravia18 · 05/26/2009, 06:02 PM

Thanks very much!

Now I am sad I wasn't invited to the NY one.

I was suspicious though because that was the only store showing up that it was going to be re-opening at 6:00 p.m..

preman2be913 · 05/26/2009, 06:04 PM

Hey vou guys saw wedding crashers right? Well call us... The PRE CRASHERS!!!

Who's in???

laravia18 · 05/26/2009, 06:05 PM

Hey it's the pre. I will certainly try.

It's close enough to Miami to count as Miami.

ImmaSlave4U · 05/27/2009, 08:40 AM

I really wanna know who was invited to the Hollywood gala!?!

DougB541 · 05/31/2009, 11:16 PM

So what day is this?

I'm going to try to get into the New YOrk party even tho I never got an invite from Sprint for some reason.

I'll use my ABC credentials haha.

sounds like a really good idea to me! maybe it would be worth going to these parties and trying to find someone that's going solo. offer them $50 for one of their tickets and get your pre a day early!

s140 · 06/02/2009, 08:06 PM

Hey, I live on Crescent heights, about 1 mile from both the hotel and studio. Any insite on how to go other then sneaking in? My roommate is the president of legendary picutres secretary but he didnt know when she asked him. She has connections but nothing really came up in terms of this event. Any help?

timGSU · 06/02/2009, 08:20 PM

Will someone going to the Atlanta party please take me as their guest!

ETUTREO300 · 02:57 AM

anyone registered on a wait list get notified they are confirmed for a launch party yet? I am officially waitlisted for my local party but am told by sprint official it does not look good...

nerdtalker · 06/03/2009, 02:38 AM

Wow, I'm insanely jealous. I wish I lived at New York, it'd be intense to be at the one with Hesse himself. He's done a lot to turn Sprint around, IMO a tremendous job.

Jersey Girl · 06/03/2009, 05:48 AM

Wow...there's no parties in the Philly area for me to crash! The number of Sprint stores just about equals the number of Wawas--everywhere you look there's one, and we can't get any launch party love?

s140 · 06/03/2009, 01:59 PM

SO IS ANYONE HERE GOING TONIGHT?

I am going to try. Much easier with a ticket though. Who needs a guest?
