Here are my observations of the Pixar Teapot line on Tuesday, August 12, 2014.
Data points are highlighted in the diagram below:
- My point of entry into the line at 10:38. I estimate that the line formed at 10:30. Pixar booth staff prevented people from entering the line until this time.
- Estimated end of line at 10:41
- 10:47
- 10:50
- 11-ish, as reported by Firaxis colleagues Mike and Scott. I lost sight of the line at this point
- 11:20ish, as reported by Mike and Scott.
I estimate approximately 12 people per row of booths. I neglected to note the time at which the line began to move. However, if memory serves, it started early, perhaps around 11:45.
As I approached the booth, an asian woman in a green shirt sneakily inserted herself into the line in front of me. I decided not to hold up the line by calling out the offender, but I saw what you did there, green-shirted asian woman. Shame on you!
