    Facebook groups saying 700 people there already. For reference I got there around 7am last year and was number 770 something.

    With all the tents, no one really knows how long the line is. Tents are taking up as much room as like 8 people would be in a standing line.

    I'm sure this has already been asked so apologies for the repeat- I'm used to being out of state and buying in Tennessee but am in Chicago this year- should I be ok swinging by a jewel later in the day to grab a few regular or will I need to wait for the smaller shop releases? No time to line up for variants this year.

    I find 700 people being there before midnight hard to fathom. It just can't be, right?

    We are in the parking lot at the end of the line. Lots of tents this year

    Yeah not sure if trolls or just bad guessers or what. Some guy claimed he counted the whole line and came up with 537. Then people were commenting saying even more.

    I know nothing about where the line is. What I do know is that I am glad my vehicle had car trouble last week and expensive repair is keeping me out of Chicago. This year (the line nonsense) sounds gross.

    Yeah if there is one thing you can count on for BF, well perhaps limited beer releases in general, it's the attempts at misdirection and/or people poor at math. :wink:

    Screw it - skipping LP and heading somewhere else. Think another Binnys or a Jewels would be better?

    It wrapped around itself? That's...interesting choice.

    I'm really scared and somewhat excited to see how they handle this line. It's such a mess.

    And there's no way there's 700 people here. Maybe half that. Maybe

    Ok so Lincoln Park is strange. The actual starting point is not at the front of the building as we all know. It is at this building to the right. It goes west and then south to the back around the backside of Binnys then comes back north. What is strange is it enters the front of Binnys,at the Parking lot but then there is only so much room. On the other,side of the road where the east entrance is of the parking lot there is a,line there,and also a,line on the east entrance going north. Not,sure how the parking lot line got formed and,then if the people on ghe,other,side,of the,road are the last people in line. Just walking arounf,twice and trying to understand the massive distortion these,stupid,tents,are,causing there,is probably 350-400.
