Those FB groups sound like a lot of fun.

I'm gonna line up for the Elvis 78, but I sure as hell won't be there a week in advance.

My experience has been that if you get in line around 10am, no matter when the super fans get in line, you're likely to get the RSD release. You'll waste time in line day of instead the night/week before. It's all about when you want to wait.

A particular fucking know-it-all on this forum who is just incredibly insufferable with their push-back attitude about EVERYTHING.

Except for the limited LFR which I think you needed tone in line by 6am

Based on Facebook groups, I should probably cancel my RSD trip to Nashville since I can't arrive a week ahead of time to camp out in front of TMR. All the talk has me stressed a month ahead of time! Oh well, at least there's a lot to do in Nashville, because when I do arrive on Friday, it sounds like the line in front of TMR will stretch halway to Memphis.

Are people still obsessing and going crazy over on those groups? We don't even have official announcements yet.

Oh...and this year, putting a chair in line and leaving for 10 hours to go sleep and then coming back in the morning doesn't count and I will probably move your belongings across the road to the parking lot. Nor does it count if you have one person wait in line for you and then a group of people show up an hour before opening. Leaving for a half hour to grab food or go to the washroom is fine...not 12 hours.

Hell they sold LFR all day long as far as I could tell. The 10am trick might have worked for that as well. They kept bringing boxes from URP.

Nah. I went back around 3 and they were still selling WFR for a little longer. I think around 4 it ran out. I asked the person who got the last one when they got in line and they said around 6am. So many people waited over night that year.

I would not have traded a week of sleep for that night on wet pavement.

I'm with you on that one. I came in tshirt and jeans with no jacket, tent or anything. I sat under the canopy next to the door for the swingers club. This year I plan on being on the other side of the door..

I spent the night in a not so water proof tent. Then found out they were $100 I think, then saw them sell them for hours. Mines pretty low on fluid. I wouldn't do it again .....
But Hell, I still had some fun, it was interesting to say the least.

Coming home expecting a package, since the expected delivery day was today, but only coming home to find your tracking telling you your package is still across the country.
