    So we got here at 4am and the line is already all the way down the street, down to the right, loops all the way back around, and now im in line by the car entrance.....certainly a smidge more crowded than last year!

    Got a case of schlafly pumpkin over here...

    Cheers!

    Got here at 3:45... Line seems very loose compared to last year. I'm just concerned that everyone will come out of the woodworks come 7 am. Here's to hoping that we are within 1500!!

    Either things tapered off considerably after 8 or 9 or I am grossly underestimating how many are ahead of me. I've walked up and down the line a few times and it seems that there's no way that over 1500 are ahead of me. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

    Just wait. You might only see a loose line right now. But then 400 of their friends show up and cut in line. Which is another reason I said fuck it to Darkness Day. You can camp all night, but it doesn't matter when a bunch of shitheads who slept all night cut in front of you.

    Any idea what time the last group to get wristbands will get in line to buy their beer? I have been reading about the color coded wristbands, and was wondering if the buying times have been posted?
