Sweet lord, people really want those free Thomas Pink shirts. From the comments section: "I got there around 820 and the polite 'mo said to me 'The line is closed and about a 6 hour wait, but you can jump in if you'd like.' I was heartbroken :( especially after seeing all the frumpily dressed people in line who probably don't know how to appreciate such a fine shirt, or some who seem to have merely wandered over from 'Music in the Plaza' from the Today Show. Sigh!" [Racked Comments]
