54'40" or fight

Got to pre-wait line for "Prince Avalanche" waaaay early. Was third in line. Then line got shifted and people from previous wait line for different movie claimed they were waiting for ours. Wtf.

Staff suggested to these women that our line was first but refused to intervene. So now I'm 12th-ish (with three fellow ct peeps right behind me ). Might not sound like much, but one movie only let two people in and several didn't admit any wait listers at all. So it absolutely could come down to a spot or two.

Oh, and Melissa and I were 2 of the last four to get into "spectacular now" last night. They need better procedures.

That said, all first-world problems. Still annoying, though. I told the ct folk and the two big guys in front of me that we could take 'em. Guys behind me are plotting some sort of potential military action. Pretty funny.

One ct guy: " if someone antagonizes you and you take the bait, you're still the better person. " -suggesting we take action. Like standing next to them and screaming. Not words - just screaming. I like it.

Ha.

UPDATE: one volunteer say they told people to go to back of previous line, though two others told us where to start line. So volunteers fucked it up. And there was nasty shouting between the feuding lines. Hilarious.

Volunteer said "relax, sundance is supposed to be fun."

I said, "you don't think this is fun? This is great!" Tried to diffuse it a little. Didn't quite work.

Ct guys behind me left, saying to big guy in front of me: "you're still no. 1 on my list." But they might leave. Then I would move up to not no. 1.

...

And they did leave. People were sad. I proclaimed, "now I'm fake no. 1!"

People laughed. Some diffusing ... At least among my people.

(I ended up w no. 10. Shall see ...)
