Looks just like the Portland Expo Center this weekend where the line was the longest I've ever seen. However, the venue had the capacity and the line moved suprisingly fast. I was in the door and at my first table within a half hour.
I knew what I was looking for and made the purchase right away. That's when the large crowd size began to have its effect. The wait to fill out paper work was an hour, and then another 1 1/2 hour wait for the background check. Some buyers hung around the vedor's table waiting and that made the congestion even worse. I used my time to browse the rest of the show and really enjoyed this one more than less crowded shows in the past.
If all these buyers and potential voters would write their elected officials, this battle could be over before it starts. I was discouraged by all the talk I heard of bans being foregone conclusions. As if we are powerless to stop it.
