iPhone 5 marketing experiment – PR request, gadgets and consumer kit needed!

Whilst camping out for the IPhone 5 I'm kind of thinking of having a full day of activities planned.

I have even managed to get a mobile hairdresser to give me a hair cut. My aim is to be the first person in the United Kingdom to get my hands on the new IPhone. I have to look my best :)

I'm looking for ways to pass the time so any suggestions are most welcome. Leave a comment below this blog if you have any ideas.

I'm also looking for things I can do whilst sitting on a camp chair outside the apple store.

Does anyone have any fun wacky ideas on what I can do to keep myself entertained? I'm talking to a couple of companies that sell outdoor games so any suggestions would be good.

I will have a lot of spare time on my hands and am looking for some ITunes vouchers so I can download some books to read on my IPad.

I'm also looking for any companies that could set up a webcam so people can watch what I get up to. If you know of any video production companies send them my way.

I mentioned in a earlier blog entry that I have a couple of restaurants who will will deliver some hot meals but between meals I could do with

- some savoury snacks including biscuits and crisps.
- some small packets of breakfast cereal.
- a picnic basket.
- a cool box.
- some bottled water, soft drinks and energy drinks.
- some tinned soup or meals.
- a small gas camping cooker.
- some small hand towels.
- a big oversized mug for hot chocolate or soup.

Outdoor clothing is something I will definitely need.

I could do with

- a set of waterproofs.
- a couple of thick fleeces.
- a thick waterproof jacket to keep me warm at night.
- a pair of thick gloves.
- a balaclava ( not to burgle the apple store :) ) to stay warm.
- a scarf.
- a thick blanket.
- a travel pillow.

Any help will guarantee a mention on my blog. The interest in this Iphone 5 experiment is growing by the day and will provide companies very targeted pr exposure.

I have spoken to a lot of tech media who will are interested in reporting about my story.

Hey! Love the idea of broadcasting your wait for the iPhone 5. You may want to try a service like Justin.TV or Ustream to get started on that. As long as you have a wi-fi connection and a camera (even on your iPhone) you can broadcast live! I think they both have apps. No outside help needed. Good luck, hope to tune in!

Do you think Apple would let me connect to their wifii? :)

Download the iPee Urinal app and your iPhone will become a mobile toilet! Haha, seriously tho, the best source of entertainment is always other people - especially when lined up for new apple gadgets!

A few ideas...
• Attach a dollar to a fishing pole, cast it out and reel in a big one.
• Subsidise the cost of your iPhone 5: buy some candy or crisps in bulk, sell them to other folks in line.
