Another way to avoid lines is to volunteer yourself. *S* Which is how I got to see the 2000 Hugos in person, with a reasonably good seat, and saw most of the '01 Masquerade entrants up close. Of course, it takes a chunk out of your late afternoon and evening, which could be spent doing other stuff (panels, resting, dinner- forgettable stuff like that. *S*) Ase(Thinking about what to volunteer for at ConJose- the art show, of course, and maybe the Masquerade again? It was pretty fun [in an exhausting, time eating sort of way] last time.) <*>
