I can officially say that I survived the madness! It was the most "organized choas" that I have ever seen. Down to directing traffic, where to park, what door to go in, everthing! It was great. The employees gave out free IKEA keychains, IKEA tape measures, post-it and pens.
My friend Jaz & I managed to get there around 8am and the doors opened at 9am. There were plenty of people waiting in line already as you can see. I guess I should have eaten breakfast!
We did manage to be within the first 2500 and received an envelope when we entered the main doors. Unfortunately, we had a free hot dog and a free cinnamon roll between us, which we decided not to use because the lines were ridiculous. (Plus we went down the street later to use our "free lettuce wraps" coupon at P.F.Changs at Park Meadows Mall - which you can print out if you like them on Facebook until July 31)
All in all, it was a great experience and I got great, affordable bedroom curtains, a bunch of knick knacks and plenty of ideas for future projects!
This woman on stilts was there to pose as we were getting to the cashiers. I have NO idea what this is all about and it was rather interesting...thought I was at Cirque Du Soliel for a minute!
