The IKEA Fancy Dress Dinner Party
All unbeknownst to IKEA.
Unlike Mark Malkoff, who lived at the Paramus store for a week, and the Oslo stores, which allow overnight stays, however, the Sacramento visitors left when the store closed.

PlanItGirl - the Schaumburg store would be great for such an event - it's one of the few Ikea's that has an open floor plan, lots of windows, and if I remember right, at least two cafeterias, one actually having better food. (but no matter which Ikea, I always get the meatball combo!)
I would love for something to happen here in New York. Maybe at the Brooklyn Ikea after it opens (and the crowds have died down).

HA. As soon as I saw Rob Cockerham (blue shirt in the second picture) I knew this would be some high quality shenanigans. His site is worth checking out. (I'm fond of the How Much Is Inside? Adventures.

Sounds like fun! Wish I had been shopping my local Ikea when it happened, I would have pulled up a chair and joined in.
