I count and find that I'm about the twentieth person in line. The George Strait concert just fin- ished. I slept for a few hours this afternoon so that I could make it through the night. Armed with homework, a couple of novels, and chocolate, I'm ready for anything. 11:00 p.m. - I found out that the first person in line was there from 2:30 this afternoon.

I just finished reading the first of my two nov- els, so I reward myself with some chocolate. 1:00 a.m. - 3 hours down, only 8 to go. fIt's only been three hours??J The line is still grow- ing, I estimate around 50-75 people total.

It was a big mis- take to bring Caffeine-free sodas with me. The good news is that I can feel my nose and toes again! I decide that I'm bored with homework. I take the Whitney tape out of the player, replacing it with Laura Branigan, and begin reading my second novel. 5200 a.m. - SLEEPIIII 6:00 a.m. - The sun is rising, and everyone is waking up. It looks like a beautiful day is be- ginning. 7:00 a.m. - A man emerges from the Show-Me Center. He hands out line tickets, which al- lows us to leave until 9:00 a.m. but still keep our places in line. 8:00 - After breakfast, a show- er, and a change of clothes, I re- turn to the ticket line. 9:00 - I get my ticket! lt's not as good as I had hoped for, but it's still a fourth row seat.
