I'm so glad I managed to haul my lazy ass out of bed to come out and do this event. I wasn't sure I was going to make it (Thursday my Mom & did a walking tour of Santa Monica & Venice Beach, a day my Mom will only now refer to as the "Santa Monica Death March," and all day Friday we did Disneyland, so I was dead pooped & my feet were already angry). It was worth it though. I got to meet a few new TCers (always a very, very cool thing), and I got to see a few others I hadn't seen during the rest of my week down there. Standing next to me in line were a couple of cool tikiphiles who are not hardcore TCers (one is a lurker [hello!], and the other I think had heard of it but didn't spend a lot of time here), and they were a lot of fun to while away the hours with. I actually didn't buy much, just a t-shirt, mini print and a purse, and I took advantage of my spot in line to snag a couple of extra mugs for Al & Shelly.

I got into line around 6:45 or so, and ended up being ~110 in line. I didn't get into the shop until 11am, which was scary as I had to leave at 11:30 for my flight back to Seattle -- I was very afraid I would have been there for 5 hours for nothing! But, as all things in Disneyland should, it worked out.
