    Can't get outside to smoke without going all the way back through security again. I'm going to die in here

    Seems like based on what I'm seeing for the overnight tonight, there is a good chance not everyone who sleeps there is getting in the main room.

    If that's the case I'm going to bed and I'll get there in the morning. I was thinking about heading up there now, but it's seemingly not worth it then. Does that appear to be the case to anyone else?

    I doubt everyone here is getting in the main room. It's almost 11pm and they are still lining people up.

    Someone else in another thread did a rough count and said there was around 2k at 9:30. At this point yeah, anyone who's come in within the past 30-40 mins is gonna be rolling dice.

    I'm still irritated by the fact I made sure all my stuff (including my super i uncomfy chair) fit in my backpack and there are people in here with inflatables and literally a tent.

    .....need a smoke.

    I think I'll just deal with the streaming stage then. This is my first convention of any kind so I'm kind of learning on the fly here. I don't know that I'd have wanted to sacrifice my entire day by waiting in line anyway, and I know my wife wouldn't have. She was pretty adamant about going to Disney.

    Man I'm glad I didn't head up there. That's crazy. I'm a bit nervous about TLJ now. I'm hoping I don't have to sacrifice my con time tomorrow to wait in line for Friday.

    It's 11:45 and people are still streaming in I have a feeling even the overflow streaming stage might get full

    Any update on the streaming stage? I'm hoping to show up around 6 or 6:30 tomorrow to grab a wrist band for one of the streaming stages.

    I can confirm that. One of them was just running around saying "did you sleep here?"

    "We all did" was the reply.


    So she walks about ten people down in line and starts asking again. Seriously everyone on this side of the hall was here overnight
