    Crazy how 100+ people showed up between 645 and 715.

    Line is now past Ludlow. Prices look horrible. If you haven't left yet just stay in and eat leftovers.

    and next year it'll be 4am!


    one mile house was definitely the way to go. no craziness... and the draft and bottle prices were downright fair compared to what these go for at retail.

    Aww man. I really really really don't think I'm going to get a vanilla. fml, I thought 745am would suffice.

    Got here at 8 and I'm basically at the end of the line. Can't believe this turnout.

    No you won't, not buying anything after awaiting inline for hours over 5 bucks is absurd.

    My alarm went off at 630. I walked the dog and was in my car by 645. Driving from Long Beach with limited traffic would have been near TH by 8. I decided to stop for a bagel and check this thread to see the turn out. Glad I did, I would have been disappointed driving in and being like number 200 or so on this cold morning. Thanks to everybody who updated this thread and kept us all informed. Now I will look elsewhere.

    yes thanks to those updating, and good luck.

    and the price on the coffee just seems... wrong. the draft coffee was pretty much the same prices as the draft regular so it's weird to see it at 2x

    Yeah, im going to just get a vanilla and pick up everything else at the 20 stores that will be selling it on Monday. There's no way everyone is going to be gouging that horribly.

    That's why I kept asking if anyone had confirmed... Ah well. There will be more Vanilla around. Just gotta give it a few days.

    Did they give away any cool stuff like the glass and coffee last year?
