What should I expect for my first Black Friday?

Going to be staying up all night after thanksgiving to get some clothing deals online. What are the hotspots? Ive never done this before, so I need to know where to look.

mainly looking for Ralph Lauren items.

I'd start with ralphlauren.com There's usually a friends and family sale that begins around that time. Last year it was 40% off with an additional 15% on the first day - which works out to a 49% discount - which is sweet. At certain times they've excluded the EG/Purple Label shoes, but that's a wait and see at this point. Most other things are included.

Why would anyone have a big sale before the Christmas rush... isn't it usually after?

Surely you're aware of the giant sale day that is the day after Thanksgiving, right? They call it black friday b/c it's usually the first day of the year that retail establishments get out of the red and into the black. It's customary for retail establishments to have a big sale that day b/c many people have vacation the day after Thanksgiving to kick off their holiday shopping season.
