We went pretty early to make sure we wouldn't be standing in line too long. I must have been at the event till 9am when I noticed that my friends already went home and I started to feel drained. It takes super human strengh to last till 12 in the afternoon I suppose.

I also ran into my friends the razorbabes which where literally at the event till the end, running on super human fuel.
