I camped overnight for The Phantom Menace tickets. We were not allowed in theater property until 6am release day, but we were allowed on the sidewalk loading up to their property at 6pm the day before release.

When they let us move up to the door we figured someone would walk over to us and lead us to the door... nope the manager stood at the doors and yelled across the parking lot and beckoned us. It turned into a mad dash.

The sidewalk turned and went up a hill, those of us nearer the end of the line were closer to the entrance than the front of the line. We just ran down the steep hill and moved way up in the queue. I was wearing a kilt, I felt like Mel Gibson in Braveheart as I ran towards the door.

The people that had been near the front were complaining we cheated, but they were the ones that started running first. If they had walked up nice and orderly like we learned in kindergarten they would still have been first.

Anyways, I saw TPM 9 times in the first 48 hours.
