thought after years i finally got my first Bunch of Crepes. then it tells me im only in line...so pissed.

Woo hoo!!! 3 Power Squids and a Bunch of Crepes!!! Thank you woot! for this Happy Hour!!!

Woot! What's with the hate for Canada? You don't like my postal code? I wanted a "bagel or crepe"

Cool... I heard they are shipping Depends® in this round of gristle. ;-)

I finally got a Bunch of Crepes!!! If I was a kitty I would bark, I'm so excited :-D

It's a shame that no one else at work can truly understand the euphoria I'm feeling..

I got to the "In line" screen, but I'm almost certainly out of luck. I've never had one go through from that point. Has anyone?

I can't complain too much, however, as I just opened my bucket of chum from 2/25 yesterday. It was my first. You'll always remember your first.

Congrats to all the lucky wooters. Maybe I'll get lucky next time.

Correct, they dislike your code... as well as Maggie's Nipples... ;-)

From woots own info page...
Why isn't my state/country/province listed; do you ship internationally?
No, we do not ship outside of the continental United States at this time. We do not ship to Canada, Mexico, Alaska, Hawaii, nor to Maggie's Nipples, Wyoming or Assinippi, Massachusetts at this time.

I got the page where it says you can refresh or check back later... and then suddenly it went to server error and i still don't have anything on my account page......

is it showing up on peoples' account pages yet?

Me, too. Sh*t. I'll never get the pleasure of a Bunch of Crepes.

Hey Woot Gods, anywhere we can see the stats for the various items during the Happy Hour?

Mostly I'm just curious how many random craps there were...

Well there was at least 1 it's on it's way to ME

Not only did I get a Bag O gristle, but when I got the server error and tried again, the second one tried to go through as well.
I got the server error then as well.
Was going to try again but I got my confirmation email from the first one.

Funny glitch though, now when I click on Random gristle on my list of woots, it says:

your order is NOT in.
POSSIBLE PROBLEMS WITH YOUR ORDER:
Order denied.
Seems like we already have an order for you.

Today must be my day.

800,000

I submitted an order, as did a co-worker of mine, but we both got "in line" and subsequently denied. A twitter post I found claims that only 300 were available, but there is nothing on Woot to verify that unfortunately (that I know of).

Hey ChrisPUT, check your account order. I had the same message and now it says my order is in.

I waited a few minutes, then tried, got server error, tried again and got in queue until rejected. just so you know, no luck this time for ceo's either.

Woot! I often hear about companies not allowing employees participate in the fun and games, but here the CEO is trying for a Box of Cats even though the warehouse belongs to you. That's really great! I'm sure I would be doing the same thing.

The bag o gristle is always SO frustrating.

I'm "in line" and the page (from woot's end) crashes so I try a few more times, then I get farther and it says "sorry, someone at your address has already ordered one" (paraphrased).

They've got to ditch the graphics and ads or something to give the server more power at those periods. Or just let X number of people get "in line" and stop showing the Bunch of Crepes, just show the next item...

It's two hours later but not one in my history or e-mail confirmation.

Maybe in a few weeks, during that April Fools' one? While we are discussing it, wanna give a hint?

The Bunch of Crepes looks even better when it's last call.

Got a Bandolier of Carrots and Conan tickets (not in that order) today. Great success.

I am still getting this error. Hopefully all is well with my carp...

So when we hit the big gold button and got the server error, our order wasn't processing?

WOO HOO!

Just wanted to say "Thanks Woot!"

It's been several long cold years, but I finally got my Bee Oh Cee today.

I take back all the things I've said about your servers while in a rage over missing the last 20 or so.

Huzzah!

Hey Woot, Next time you should add these items to the community so we can talk about em in the future. Always nice to have those places to discuss where/what our gristle is when we find out

Not to mention, it also acts like a history book, because if you weren't at the Happy Hour, you don't really know what was there and what the stats of the items were...

So what...not only do we have to deal with Woot's horrible servers, but now they are gonna try to bring down Twitter's servers as well? SWEET! You know I am still gonna be watchin the happy hours in the future!

The history of items sold is actually on their Twitter page. You can check it out there.

Way to go woot!, finding another way to make me miss a bagel or crepe.
OK, being serious now, I think this is really cool, and a welcome way to interrupt my day. I just wish I'd found out about it before it happened. Congrats to all those who were on the ball.

Hey I got my first Bunch of Crepes! Of course, it wasn't THAT hard because this was a new feature and the bots were not armed for it. At least Woot is keeping them on their toes once in a while.

Excited...

Nice idea, but you do know that what is sold during Happy Hour, stays in Happy Hour... just like Vegas.

Anyhoo... for this one at least, I will post here... and then tweet about all my crappy goodness to #woot.

Aww... but I promised myself I'd never join twitter... eh, as long as there are still regular woot offs I think I'll skip on this :\

Sorry woot

The story of me getting a Bunch of Crepes...

-Saw it, ordered, went to process, got turned down by server error
-Tried again, went through
-Waited a bit, got a "order not processed" error
-Went back an hour later to look at receipt and it went through.

So I have a Bunch of Crepes now even though twice it said I didn't...

boom headshot! i got my 1st bag of cash!!! i had my cc # in my clipboard and ordered faster than jimmy johns .

I'll be sure to post any updates on tracking numbers/weights/contents of the Bunch of Crepes for those following this thread!

I got in line for a Bunch of Crepes. That's as close as I've ever come, and it happened only because I was home sick from work. Thanks, Woot, for always scheduling the best stuff when I have no chance of taking advantage of it (BOCs, Happy Hour itself)...

It's not a convenient time for some of us CSTers either. ;P

Same here, though I suspect there will only be 5 or 6 of us... given there were only 300 bags total and a great majority of the purchasers may only follow Woot through Twitter.

For the next happy hour it'd be great if you could add a discussion thread! Doesn't need to be a separate one for each item... just something similar to this thread, one long one for the whole happy hour, except make it actually linked to on the "Happy Hour" page.

I'm feeling lonely with this bagel or crepe, as lucky as I feel about getting one in the inaugural happy hour. Truly half the fun of the bag is talking to others about it and comparing ;)

Just realized an alternate to signing up to twitter is to use your RSS reader on the twitter/woot feed with this link:

Yeah, I will add my stuff here too. There was some discussion on the thread for the last carp, so there might be some posts there, too.

I'm thinking there were more than 300. I saw where someone said 300 too, but I think they just pulled that number out of their heads. Woot's twitter said "800,000", indicating to me they won't actually give us a real answer lol.

Can't wait to see what my Bunch of Crepes has inside... last one wasn't too exciting, but that's part of the fun! Once I get that tracking number, obsession takes over...

On a sidenote, Woot's customer service is great. I sent an email to service@woot last night and got a reply first thing this morning.

While you're certainly right that we have no idea on the quantity, I'd like to think it's less on the off chance a smaller number of boxes = higher quality gristle
