We just stopped by the Chicago Apple flagship store and were greeted by chaos — at least 35 to 40 people in line and a media frenzy of interviews taking place. Tyler Tessmann, the first guy in line, had gotten there at 2:30 and was holding court with NBC 5, while the rest of the media patiently waited to pounce. The store seemed busy but ready — employees told us that most of the prep was done, and that the store was closing down tomorrow just to manage to crowd flow.

So far, the throngs of iPhone-demanding humanity beating on the glass shells of Apple Stores across the globe haven’t materialized — at least not here in Apple’s backyard. At this point, the line consists of about one woman, four gentlemen, and three clowns. For whatever reason, we were expecting more (way more) people and generally fewer clowns. Are the contract requirements and price keeping the buying public at bay? We’ll know tomorrow! Stay tuned for more updates live from the San Francisco outpost.
