Waiting in line

Woke up at 4:30a, called a taxi last night to pick us up at 5:30.
Arrived at Qwest Cente at 5:45. Security checked our bags. The line
started at 3:00 an we are probably less than 100ft from the front
door. Qwest Center cost $300mm and has no professonal sports teams,
I'm mo Buffett (just yet) but that does not seem like a great business
model. They are serving free coffee and selling lunch vouchers. People
in front of me look like they are in 70-80s and they are talking about
the shadow banking system. Cab driver said when the market tanks is
when this event draws the most people.
