It started out very frusterating for me. My wifes family had planned a vacation at their lakehouse in Curlew, WA for 4 days of fishing and boating from the 9th to the 12th. So I get out there on the 9th thinkin np when the 11th comes I'll just order tickets on my iphone.

No, luck! This lake has absolutly no cell access, let alone edge access so I was freakin out wondering how i was gonna get tickets. My nephew told me he managed to check his email while in the middle of the lake stealin wifi from someone. So on the morning of the 11th at 7am I grabbed the 16ft aluminum fishing boat and went out and find some wifi. Found a decent connection for my laptop in about 10 min and was pretty happy except for the fact that it was VERY cold and i didnt bring nothing but a t-shirt out with me. So im hunched over this laptop in a lil boat in the middle of a big lake lookin like the worlds biggest nerd trying to buy blizzcon tickets and the website was nothing but fail. I stayed out there for 5 hours before i gave up and came in for lunch.

I didnt want it to ruin my lake vacation so i only checked once every 5 hours or so after that and ended up catching 20 Bass and 1 Rainbow Trout! On the 12th it was time to drive home (7 hour drive) so i slept while my wife drove and when i got in the door to our place i went directly to the pc to try again to buy tickets only to see that they had been sold out while i was on the road, talk about crushed.

After this an hour later or so i read that they will sell a few more tickets at 8pm. I waited for 8pm and at about 8:10 or so the site came online for me and I flawlessly purchased 5 tickets, I wasnt even fast about it, i filled out my toon name and faction and all the crap. Just hit it at the right time i guess.

So after over 24 hours of frusteration it worked out pretty good for me and I feel like i really earned it cause i froze my butt off on that damn boat
