Lululemon Warehouse Party – BC Place 2013!!!

Aisles + aisles + aisles of Lululemon ON SALE!!!!!!  AND IT WAS GOING OFF, PEOPLE!!!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

My sister-in-law Deb + I survived the first day of Lululemon’s Warehouse Party (sale) today at Vancouver’s BC Place.  If you are not familiar with the magical unicorn that is Lululemon Athletica, click here to read all about it!  BC Place is ginormous, y’all!!!!  It is the home field of the Canadian Football League, (DO WHAT?!  I know!  Hold on a minute, what?  Canada has a football league?  Now that’s a subject for a later date!) so you can imagine how large + in charge it is!  So Deb + I were thinking, “Enough Lululemon on sale to fill the BC Place???  WHERE DO WE SIGN UP??!!!!”.

We were also curious about whether or not ladies would be getting in cat fights over a pair of Luon tights, so we hopped on the Skytrain + exited the Stadium-Chinatown Station.  Ta-daaaaaaaaa BC Place!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It’s like a looming space ship full of Canucks who are ready to drop some mad cash, yo!!!!

Enter, my children!!!!!  We were really scared of was how horrible the lines were going to be!  For the first day, it wasn’t that bad at all – but granted, it was a weekday!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Take note: try not to bring a purse or a bulky jacket to the sale.  We thought we’d be waiting in a line outside, so we brought our jackets.  But the entire line up is indoors.  Also, I was confused by the website – I thought they’d be peeking inside purses + coats – not actually checking them all in!  So come to the sale without a jacket + a purse – it’s advisable!

There was a VERY efficient coat check ready to receive!

At first I thought, “Is this the sale???”.  Oh no no no.  It’s just hoards of people’s personal belongings!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You give them your stuff, they put it in bags (all the plastic made my soul cry) + give you a number.  I repeat!  Literally come to the sale without a jacket (wear something with pockets) + bring a ziploc for your credit/debit card, ID + cell phone – nothing else!  NO CASH!!!  Credit + debit only!

While waiting in line they offered water….

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Organic bananas + apples……

AND righteous tunes!!!!  Lululemon, you know how to throw a PARTAY!  And the band was ROCKING IT HARD!!!!!

WE’RE IN!!!!!  HOLY MOSES!  SQUEAL!!!!

SO MUCH MERCHANDISE!!!  GAAAAH!!!

ZOOM IN!  This poor guy accompanying his girlfriend is like, “Mmmm-hmmm yeah baby, I agree.  I think the pink top is better than the yellow.”.  Lookit him!  He’s totally sleeping with his eyes open!

 

 

 

I think Jeff would have rather eaten a bowl of razor blades than attend the sale with Deb + I!  I admire you Guy-Sleeping-With-Eyes-Open.  Way to support your lady!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The women folk were running around clutching PILES of Lululemon in their arms!  And they all had a feverish, manic look about them !!!  I was skerred, y’all!!!

“Lululemon!!!!  My preciousss!!!”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The aisles were all organized by size + Lululemon employees were constantly restocking + cleaning up.

High up above, the mega screen had color coded dots indicating how much an item was by the color sticker placed on it’s tag.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Every once in a while you’d see a woman with their eyes turned towards the heavens, searching for prices.  “Are you there, God?  It’s me, Margaret.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There was a good variety of stock + styles to grab at! 

And the sale prices were pretty great – let’s face it, Lululemon can get a little spendy + y’all know I ain’t paying full price!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I had a mound of athletic wear hoarded in my arms, but I whittled it down to a Run Swiftly Tech long sleeve (I’ve never seen at the outlet) + a pair of cute black + white stripe leggings!  Deb scored a pair of Luon capris that looked AHMAYZING on her!!!  We were trying REALLY HARD to be conservative!!!  I could have easily walked out of there with 8 items!!!

Meanwhile, in another part of the city, a little monkey was busy swinging around Renfrew Ravine!!!!

 

 

Jeff + my nephew Tobin were having a play date!  The boys met us at the train station + the four of us made a quick stop at the park!

“Get offa there, Uncle Jeff!  You’re old!” says Tobin.  Just kidding Tobin would NEVER say something like that – It was just me thinking it.

So much fun!!!!  I’m so glad that Deb + I braved the masses to check out the sale!  When we walked out of BC Place we gave each other a high five – another adventure….CHECK!!!!  It’s definitely worth going to the sale!  If not for the discounts, but for the experience + buzzing energy of Lululemon Lovers!!!!  Take a chance!
