Star Wars: Episode II at the Chinese

Brian Monroe, Donnie Pinkston, B.J. Horn, and I were in Hollywood waiting in line for and seeing Star Wars: Episode II at the Grauman's Chinese Theater. Donnie Pinkson took all of these photographs. <

	Large -- Medium The liningup.net folks officially notify us that we have but 24 hours more to wait!
	Large -- Medium After a long, smelly night on the sidewalk at the corner of Orange and Hollywood Blvd, this stupid helicopter would NOT go away and woke us all up.
	Large -- Medium This is our spot in line, about maybe 6-9th in the Line behind the Line. The green and blue folding chairs with arms were ours.
	Large -- Medium This woman was from local news crew, there will be lots of these people showing up over the next 12 hours.
	Large -- Medium Another local newswoman.
	Large -- Medium Somehow, the liningup.net people acquired power to show the 4 previously released movies from laserdisc and DVD over the course of the night. This is Luke and Darth Vader in Episode VI, ROTJ, I think.
	Large -- Medium Installation of the new sign! A momentous event.
	Large -- Medium In front of the new sign, me, BJ, and Monroe.

	Large -- Medium Monroe and BJ in line.
	Large -- Medium Brian Monroe, in his most loved shirt.
	Large -- Medium Me with my bud, Yoda, who made the mistake of not waiting in line long enough.
	Large -- Medium Every Jedi must make his own light saber. Surprisingly however, this requires less talent with the force than ability with a Dremel tool.
	Large -- Medium This appears to be an extreme close-up of my head.
	Large -- Medium The front of the theater.
	Large -- Medium Tourists looking at the footprints in the courtyard.
	Large -- Medium Like a complete idiot, I neglected to bring a hat. However, there was enough free stuff being given away that I managed to improvise.

	Large -- Medium There were an awful lot of news vans.
	Large -- Medium No, Obi-Wan! You DON'T want to use death sticks!
	Large -- Medium Elijah Wood was about 30 feet behind us in line. He seemed really cool, but the lingingup.net geeks glommed him really bad, so we didn't bug him.
	Large -- Medium More Elijah Wood.
	Large -- Medium BJ and me. They caught me trying to conserve heat -- only my nose is showing.

Then the line started to move, and we had to get rid of the camera. The movie was awesome, though! See everyone there in 2005 for EpIII!
