I had tickets to see an advanced screening of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy tonight. Josh and I knew the line would be huge, so we left work early and arrived at the theater to line up around 5:45 for the 7:00 show. Problem is, studios intentionally distribute far more advance screening tickets than they have seats in order to ensure a full theater. And there were already over 400 people there when we arrived. No soup for us.

There were definitely some hardcore fans near the front of the line: The very first people had camping gear, and many others not far behind had towels & bathrobes. (No, not to shower; it's a joke from the book.)
