The lines this year were absurd.  For any show with even mild popularity, lines were obscenely long, and you had to get in them over an hour early(oftentimes more) just to have a chance at finding a seat for a panel.  This presented a problem for me, in that I had to be in multiple panels in different rooms, and had no chance to wait in said lines.  What to do?  Well, cheat.  I had to become a master of deception, sneaking in the back doors of various panels, usurping the lines full of die-hard fans.  It's not something I'm particularly proud of (OK, maybe a little), but it was all in the name of BuddyTV.

A weird phenomenon: people would wait in lines even after it became abundantly clear that they would not gain access to the panel they were waiting in line for.  Desperation or extreme optimism?  I don't know.
