This is why we have people lining up days before events and why collecting has become less and less fun over the years. I don't see it getting any better soon..

that's the beauty of third man at sxsw. hardly anyone lines up in advance because 1) there's an insane amount of stuff to do during sxsw, 2) TMR rarely announces what exclusives they're selling until that day, thus avoiding the hype machine, or 3) people are too hungover from the previous night's sxsw festivities.
last year was beautiful. barely any line, plenty of exclusives to go around, live music, free beer, gourmet hot dogs and good laughs. aces.

I wanna hear the story again about how you climbed fences to chase down the RRS at SXSW.

haha pwned. that was the year that changed how i looked at it all.
i ran for what seemed like 4 miles to get that jack tri, only to find out that later on that evening, they were selling multiples to people downtown, and they didn't run out...like ever.
i was like 'yup, i ain't jumping no more damn fences for vinyl.'

luckily, most people all feel the same as me. it gets more and more relaxed with every year.

My supervisor is especially bad about overloading it with thick stacks of paper so the thing sounds like it's choking and going to hurl them back out before exploding.
