The line outside the San Francisco Apple store currently holds about 150 people and is stretching two blocks. They are all eagerly waiting for the iPhone to go on sale.

Jerry Taylor, who we interviewed yesterday, is still at the front, but he is now accompanied by a rich group of people including some clowns playing mini golf, an Adobe engineering manager called Arno Gourdol who's donning a "Steve Jobs for President" T-Shirt, and your share or profiteers who refused to talk to us.

At the front of the lines, the Peep Show Mini Golf folks set up a miniature golf course. "We're putting the circus back in media circus," they proclaimed.

Chilling out on a San Francisco side walk (but why isn't that a Mac?)

Rich, but we'll call him grumpy guy, has an iPhone for sale. Wouldn't say much, which tends to be problematic if you're trying to sell something.

The line at AT&T Wireless store that we visited this morning also continues to grow. But it's still far shorter than the one at the Apple store. Perhaps because AT&T stores limit iPhone sales to one per customer, while the Apple store will let you buy two.
