Chicago gamers create utopia while waiting in line for PS3
November 20th - One Response


Best Buy

The Method Reporter, a collective blog based in Chicago run by Medill graduate journalism students, has an impressive story of a Chicago-land man who helped keep things orderly while waiting in line for his PS3 at a local Best Buy. By arriving early and taking charge, 24 year old Angel Colon, a train conductor and engineer, setup a mini-utopia in his line, creating a running list of all those in line, a break schedule for everyone on the list and even ran security keeping unwanted line hoppers at bay. Angel even coordinated with Best Buy management for the various issues that popped up throughout the weekend ordeal. Order was kept, everyone had fun and respect for one another and best of all, Angel and his family got out of it with a few new friends and a few PS3s to boot.

Good on you Angel, if only more stories like this were out there.

    “Ultimately the system was a consolation prize of sorts. While waiting in line, Colon’s house had been robbed Wednesday morning.”

    A little ironic, no?
