I like this idea. Some of us had a problem with the system at the show I attended last year. There were MFCers who got there around 7am and gave those of us who arrived next numbers. After this they left, saying they were going to their hotel for a nap. It was a good four or five hours they were gone. To me, that's taking advantage of the system. I had flown in overnight and I sat in the queue for 10 hours, only leaving twice for bathroom breaks, so it was a bit frustrating to see a group of five or six people who only spent a grand total of a few hours in the queue get the front row center spots. The number thing can work, but only if people are fair to one another.
Thanks to you and everyone else for your reports/pics/vids!!
