Today, I was one of those in the crowd lining up at 9AM. And let me tell you, it was brutal! As we made our way from the train station to the Makuhari Messe convention center, we were ushered into these little pens in the middle of what seemed to be a parking lot.



1. This was the back of the line! The rest of the line stretched all the way around the building, like this (taken in 2000):

When we did start moving, we literally had to walk all the way around the building to get in. That's probably close to a mile. I think this show has to be in contention for the world record for "longest line". The first day of TGS always draws close to 100,000 people, and most of them are there at opening.
Wasn't really a fun start to the day. But it got better. More coming later!
