Philadelphia Mayor John Street in line for iPhone
Donning a white baseball hat and warmup suit — complete with an iPod strapped to his arm — a casual Philadelphia Mayor John Street
Street said he was No. 3 in a line of about six people, but said he was sure things would pick up later in the day.”I’m out here with the rest of the gang, and we’re all waiting for the iPhone,” said Street, a self-proclaimed technology advocate. “This is the latest and I’m going to have it.”
Street said he waited for most of the overnight storms to clear before securing his spot at about 3:30 a.m., noting that the two people in front of him were so sleepy they didn’t even recognize him.

The Mayor of a major city can take time off work to stand in line, but I can’t! I feel ashamed of myself….
No, I will not have an iPhone! It’s too early…..
Honestly… I’m just an inch away form caving in. No one tempt me!
