Camping is about the wait (Score 1)

I waited all day in line for Star Wars Episode II. Not because I thought it was going to be good, but because it's a lot more fun waiting in line with a bunch of nerds / random people than it is going to class senior year of high school.

There's a local theatre called Big Newport which gets people camping for weeks. The theatre is very supportive and allows the tents to setup in a nice grassy area and provides them with power and bathroom access.

Come release day it just gets crazy. I remember the first tent had YATTA! playing all day. Every 15 minutes you'd hear a fog horn, people would run up to the tent and chant YATTA! YATTA! It was damned frightening at first, but then I joined in and had one hell of a time.

There was also saber fighting, frisbee, LAN gaming, etc. It was just a damn good time. The fun is in the wait. I'd be in line this year but I'll be at E3 all day. I think I'm going to explode from nerd overload -- in a good way.
