For all you Justin Bieber fans out there, Thursday is your day. For everyone else, steer the hell clear of Herald Square tomorrow at 2:30pm when the Biebs is scheduled for a live appearance at Macy's to hawk his new fragrance Someday.
Now, Beliebers who only just heard of this—don't get too excited. Due to a slick marketing scheme that took place yesterday, only the first 325 customers who dropped $135 or more on fragrance "packages" will have the chance for a photo opp with the Biebs tomorrow. And of course there were a multitude of tweenagers (and hopefully a parent or two) lined up over night for this once in a lifetime chance. If you're wondering, we would have totally line blogged yesterday's event had we not experienced the Great Racked Outage of 2011 and oh, if we were 12-year old girls. But anyway, be forewarned, unless you're ready to be swallowed up by throngs of screaming tweens and living-vicariously-through-their-kids parental units, make a detour away from Herald Square tomorrow (or bring earplugs and body armor).
