Ellen DeGeneres asking followers to go to Walgreens in Ann Arbor - but she won't be there in person

A manager at Walgreens said that DeGeneres won't be there in person, but will appear via a live video feed for the event, whatever it turns out to be. The Ann Arbor crowd is expected to be filmed for the show.

An earlier tweet today, addressed to a follower who lives in Ann Abor, specified, "Then I better see you at @Walgreens at 2355 Jackson Ave in your favorite holiday outfit." The store is just east of the Maple Road intersection.

At 3:30 p.m. today, she added: "Amazing things are gonna happen at @Walgreens at 2355 Jackson Ave in Ann Arbor, MI today! See you there at 7:30pm. Remember to bring a toy!"

The first tweet, last night, read, "If you live in Ann Arbor, Michigan and you aren't following me, I would start now, and get a good night's sleep. Tomorrow's a big day."

The show, which airs at 10 a.m. weekdays on WDIV (channel 4 in Detroit), did not mention the Ann Arbor event on today's episode.
