There was this great big line and then there was another line and then you got in and found yet another line. Its hot, and Robyn left her breafeast cards in the car. (no bag for her)
Actually this is funny, we got there late around 8:25 and found a pin line that went around the monorail station and out into the street.
We figured if we waited it would take about 2 hours to get inside, you see they only had 1 turnstile for over 2000 traders, and security was checking out every pinbag and every page.
But as we decided forget the breakfast we are outta here, we found the regular park gates open with only like 5 people in line and the guard said they were opening early at 8:30 today, so we stood in line for about 2 minutes and got inside before our friends that had been there since 7:30 this morning.
Me being I just had to stand in front of the turnstile and wave back at them
After I got the puzzled we hate you look from about 1500 pin traders I pointed to the now open turnstile and watched the mad pandemonium as 1500 traders scattered to get inside.
My job here was done, with a mass confusion thing going at the gates, we found only a few other lucky souls that got in as we nonchalantly walked towards the breakfast.
The food was great (No really) a nice buffet and we all got a gift pack of three older pins I got the flame banner thing, a candlelight pin, and one other.
After breakfast we all strolled outside to find a huge line for people waiting to buy pins, I had to go to work so I left the happy pintraders in the open with the sun beating down on them, and it was already 90 something degrees.
