We left the Boardwalk at a Pin Meet, 5/15/01 in the PM.
Dinosaur Gerti, an LE of 1000 was going on sale at MGM.
I was given directions on how to get to the Main Gate of MGM. At 11.30PM we (Shirl & I) would make a preliminary pass, to make sure that we did not get lost at 4AM the next morning. We found it, but decided to make a second pass, so that I would not miss any landmarks the next morning. Going through the MGM Main Gate the second time, it started pouring rain.
Shirl said pullover. We wound up being the 13th car in line. I WAS ABOUT TO LIVE IN THIS 2 DOOR SUNDANCE for the next 5 or 6 hours.
As other peeeples pulled up, this reminded me of a football tailgate party, but in the middle of the night.
I really admire you guys and gals ; true Pin Addicts. I reached up to my temples turning my screws to see if they were loose.
The bracelets were given out at 5 AM and a quick and fast count at 4:30AM was 5 lines of cars, with about 30 cars to a line.
This was a 1st for me, but there has to be a better system. I gave up sleeping in a $150 bed, for the front seat, back seat and trunk of that SUNDANCE. Trying to sleep in that car, nothing worked. BLESS YOU, my PIN ADDICT FRIENDS, it appears there is no barrier high enough, for you guys and gals to conquer.
