The Line that never ends
So I'm at AB and have been in line over 3 and a half hrs this sux
*Edit*
My total time was 6.5 hrs in line. I actually posted the above statement from my PSP while I was in line. Very upset that my Friday was killed.

This year's registration was absolutely ridiculous. We spent a total of 7.5 HOURS in line today(Friday). We arrived at the convention center and got in line at 8:45 a.m. We did not get our badges until 4:15 p.m.
I am utterly disgusted with the way registration was handled.

that's odd because we got there at about 9
what's also ridiculous is that when we left the ball last night I could still see people in line. |

I was in line for around 5 hours. What a disaster, what did they do differently this year? Last year I got in line much later and I think it took an hour or so. Were there seriously that many more attendees this year or were they really that disorganized or something?

Only 30 minutes for me. Went to pre-reg line late, around 9ish, Thursday night.

That really is bad (from what I'm hearing) about the AB registration. Last year I waited about an hour early Friday morning for at-con reg.
And this con it's important to have a badge because you need one to get into the main convention center where all the main-events (dealers' room, masquerade, etc.) are happening, and they do check badges at the door throughout the day/night.
Still, I wish I was there to see everyone..
