GA is where it's at! Dont think, just do. I went in Houston, we got there at 12, my gf thought I was nuts for going so early but we met some awesome people in line and had a fantastic time! We ended up on the barrier, and my gf is small. 5"5 maybe 100 lbs soaking wet and she had no problems even though our crowd was pretty wild! Not to mention it was easily the best time I've really had at a show, I wish I could go back. It seems tiring between shows, but adrenaline kicks in and it's all good.
