Flying Scotsman 0 Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 It's now 7:35 PM. Doors open for Advance Reg pick-up in 21.5 hours. I'm now going to go down and drive by the BCC. Anyone wanna place bets as to whether anyone's in line yet? Link to post Share on other sites
abubacar 0 Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 hahaha, seriously? You would have to be crazy. Plus they said its not really necessary to line up for thursday night pickup. I know i am getting there around like 7ish. Link to post Share on other sites

Flying Scotsman 0 Posted August 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 At 8:05 PM Wednesday: Six people officially "in line". The one at the front said he'd been there since Midnight Tues/Wed. He was also first in line in 2007, and departed directly after gofer Orientation.............. FOR IRAQ. The military fatigues are NOT cosplay. He's in the service. And had his leave for Otakon canceled last year. Link to post Share on other sites

MissV 0 Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 I heard a few people lined up as early as yesterday morning. I wasn't able to get downtown to see for myself, but it wouldn't shock me. Link to post Share on other sites
ithilienne 2 Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 The line was out to the corner of Pratt and Howard about an hour ago. Link to post Share on other sites
KSweeley 63 Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 (edited) The line was out to the corner of Pratt and Howard about an hour ago. WTF... Pratt and Howard ALREADY?!?! How many people pre-regged this year I wonder.... I bet by the time my ride gets here and I get down there, the line will be going all the way down Howard to possibly Conway... Jeeze...

coolerninjathanu 0 Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 People are so dumb. Oh well whatever floats there boats and helps them sleep at night. Link to post Share on other sites
Alaris-kun 0 Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Some people are just crazy enough to get in line that early... and I'm not one of them, thankfully. However, I think this sets him up as a Super Otaku, willing to come in that early, and camp out like that JUST TO GET A TICKET. Oh well... if I'd gotten here yesterday, I'd have bet there were several people in line... and have been right! Link to post Share on other sites

pshepherd 0 Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 Just getting back from picking up my badge. That was too easy. Arrived at 9:24pm. I was the last person in line (but not for long) and then by 9:44pm I was walking out with my badge and heading towards the bus home. Pre-reg gets better and better every year. Thanks Otakon Staff!!
