I have to admit that I told myself I wasn't waiting in any long-ass lines when I showed up in Chicago on Saturday morning. So when I saw the line snaking all the way down the block past the Sports Corner for the trailer on Addison I said "f'k that" and kept walking all the way around the stadium until I came to the big tent on Waveland. For some reason I found myself saying "this doesn't look so bad" and got in line. About midway through I was kicking myself and promising that I would never do it again. It took two hours to get inside the tent and another hour to get through the subsequent line and make my purchases. I was glad to get it out of the way as I got almost everything I wanted.

Moral of the story: I can't help myself. I like having the shit and have shown an obvious willingness to suffer on a line for it. Maybe I need to call PJ Merch Anonymous.
WAVELAND was where it was at. all the cool (and wet) cats hanging in that line.

It was pouring rain when my plane landed at 9am. I had rain gear with me but by the time I got there the sun came out. I didn't get a drop on me other than sweat in the sauna that ensued. All in all it was not as bad as it could have been.

Inside Wrigley during the first show I noticed there were only a handful of people in a merch line by GA so I stopped by and inquired about getting a few can koozies. We all laughed at how ridiculous it was to think they still had some left. Actually, I think they were just laughing at me. I don't think I was laughing. Anyways, that was my whole merch experience. I don't regret the 5 minutes one bit but it really would have been nice to get a few of those koozies. My only true merch regret in all the shows I've ever seen is not waiting in line for the Pittsburgh 13 poster. I loved that thing the moment I saw it. Kind of regret that a little bit and probably the only thing I would have ever spent more than 5 minutes in line for.

we got there really early. what were you looking for that was sold out. just curious... I think they ran out of Klausens right before my friend got hers in line.

lolo, they were out of the Faile and Klausen posters by the time I got to the counter at about 1:30. Also the blue chick shirt with the white stripes on the sleeves that I wanted to get for my wife they only had in XL and XXL (I needed a Med.). They had literally everything else than those things. I was able to score them inside the stadium that night.

Nice. glad you were able to get them. my friend had the horror of being stuck behind "the" person who tries everything on twice. she watched the Klausen stack slowly disappear in front. I only grabbed one of each because I knew they were very limited. told my friend that I didn't get him one because the people who endured that line deserved to get them. yes- I am such a saint, I know

I speak for a man who in line would stand
For forty or fifty days
Through rain and through yuck, the mud and the muck
And he's come back to say

That what he has seen is hard to believe
A line from here to Bombay
He asks of us to stand and we must
End this shit today

With his posters he's saying
No more
With his trading cards he's saying
No more
With his stickers he's saying
No more .... merch

Does anyone know if there will be another chance to get a Wrigley poster?

Check Lost Dogs or the mystery poster sale whenever it comes up.

At Wrigley 1, my wife and I hopped in the cash only line at the merch stand at the ga entrance. We waited all of 5 minutes and got my Klausen, some trading cards, pin, and 2 tshirts (one for each of us). I found there to be no problem with merch availability at that show. I kept hearing 4 hour horror stories about the merch line. I don't know how it was later in the night or the subsequent days but I thought they had tons of options in the stadium Saturday night.
