    Those events are not mutually exclusive!

    I think there was almost a fight in front of me in line as 2 guys had a disagreement over cutting the line or some shit. That's pretty exciting and all of you missed that.

    So if you line up in front of a chair, is that line cutting? What are the rules for this?

    I’d say it’s not but apparently to all the mules on Facebook this is a travesty.

    Everyone who actually shows up early should be lining up in front of the empty chairs. Pretty simple.

    Ok so now that my fingers have gained feeling again - I joined the line right before 1030 and it took just over 2 hours in line before purchasing.

    Good: my expectations were Fifth and Citra, got both. Also got the stouts which I wasn’t expecting.

    Bad: Line was slow - taking an hour to move down Garnet was ridiculous. Looks like they had 5 POS’s which is way too small for a release of this size/hype. I was expecting 20-30 mins (did same thing for 4th last year) and it was 2 hours. Longest I have ever waited in an OH line.

    Just left. No line. Lots of 5th (but an amount where I’d say if you’re free now and you want it, would go now vs in a couple hours just to be safe - it could easily last till this evening though). Also got a stout because why not.

    Yes my self righteousness is at peak levels right now

    I've very jealous. I waited for a decent amount of time in hopes for 4th (quite possibly my favorite OH) and didn't get it. I did get I Miss for my troubles, so that better blow me away....or else.

    I think will be worth it. Rob “the pallet(sic)” Newton is generally pretty reliable

    That and the dude taking down his tent on Garnet were both ridiculous.

    I was just going to write that! Swooped in at the no line sweet spot (welcome back @rozzom) to get a couple of 4s of the 5th anni and a fruit to boot and my kids were asking why there was a grill on the sidewalk. Explaining linelyfe to a 9 yr old was almost as difficult as talking her off the ledge after her first 4th grade health class.

    They might as well do it at s warehouse and have food trucks and wrestling
    is that because people have empty chairs out?

    Being completely honest, I thought it was just about the rage and was going to offer that by getting there earlier you could instead be earlier Indiana Bob Knight, all the same rage bundled with more success.
