Midnight Launch Event with Blizzard Staff

Evan writes in to tell us:"Fry's Electronics in Anaheim will be hosting a Burning Crusade midnight launch event with the Blizzard team. We will open the doors at 12:01am and will have the Team from Blizzard signing autographs. This is the same type of launch in Fountain Valley Fry's a few years back, but will be held at the Anaheim one this year."
NOTE: While I haven't yet seen confirmation of this event from Blizzard, this does seem typical of the team, having also done a Warcraft III launch at Fry's in years past.
If you recall the midnight launch for the original WoW release, back in November of 2004, it was quite a doozy.
Are there any big midnight events in your locale? If so, share them here, so others in your area can come on out and join in the fun. Me, I'm not holding out hope for any Walmart of EB Games midnight madness here. There wasn't anything the last time, so why this time?
[If you have confirmation of this midnight launch event, let us know.]

Yah I was at the midnight release of WoW two years ago with the Blizzard team in Fountain Valley. That was such a blast! The line wrapped around the building three times! Waited over 5 hours for my collector's copy (signed by the team) and was definitely worth it!

Well I don't know that it's very big - but Western New York EB Games are opening at midnight for anyone who pre-ordered.

The Gamestop/EB here in West Des Moines Iowa (Valley West mall) is having a midnight release, with a costume party and prizes. I can't bring myself to dress up, but maybe I can get one of my children to go as a Gnome Rogue or something...just for the chance at phat lootz.

Thanks for that bit of info, I live south of Des Moines, but i might have to make a late night trip.
Which EB is it, surely the mall wont be open at midnight?
