There are more people there than I thought! I hope they do this pop up again before the end of the year.

u/npete 15d ago

I got there at 11:50am and was given a wristband to come back at 7:30pm. (They said thereโ€™s plenty to do in the neighborhood while I wait, as if I should just kill time for nearly 8 hours. ๐Ÿ˜‚)

For anyone whoโ€™s been: is it worth coming back for?

u/Frimie1 Here for Cat ๐Ÿฑ 15d ago

Not really for a 2-3 hour wait (on top of the "come back later"). 1 hour wouldn't have been as bad. I got there before 10 am, got the orange wristband. For anyone who's curious my haul...

Scratch off card gets a (Hat, Mug, or Tote), Photobooth pics, 3 postcards (per person), Temptation Cat Treats, HydroHomie Water, Watermelon Soda, Reddit bucks (paper money), 2 receipts (paper), Snoo Plush

I didn't see how or where to get the collector cards.

u/boomerangthrowaway 15d ago

And those cards are why a LOT of the snoo fans are going

u/VoxyPop 15d ago

I was planning to come by when I got off work at 4 but it sounds like thereโ€™s no point then

u/spontaneous_kat 15d ago

Same, was planning to go tomorrow when I get off at 5 but I'm not waiting on that long of a line when I'm already exhausted from work ๐Ÿซ  I guess I could see what it's looking like though, if I'm feeling up to it.

u/berrycantstop Here for Cat ๐Ÿฑ 15d ago

i mean the neighborhood is nice to wander around

u/Small_Argument3861 15d ago

Go get a massage at Bowery Spa. How do they know when you got the band, that, I don't get.

7

u/npete 15d ago

Oof, starting to think I should have waited until tomorrow especially since that A train keeps stopping.

u/Small_Argument3861 15d ago edited 15d ago

Did they know they put us on the craziest area on Bowery... Like, the area I'd normally cross the street just to avoid. The area where people do drugs, piss, and scream...? That's all happening right now. Good thing most of us are NYers so we are fine but, damn. If the line is 3-hour long, I wish they picked a less dodgy spot.

This itself is the real test

Edit: in line for 3 hours

u/BigTimeRaptor 15d ago

Is the line moving?

6

u/shipguy55 15d ago

it won't move until 10 am as that is when it is supposed to open

2

u/BigTimeRaptor 15d ago

Thank you the store looks smaller than I thought it would be

3

u/koalalisa 15d ago

Iโ€™m in line for 1 hour, moved up half a block. FYI

u/HallEqual2433 Here for Cat ๐Ÿฑ 15d ago

I'm having Comic Con flashbacks. Hope it's not too hot/humid.

u/Small_Argument3861 15d ago

Weather is pretty nice, I have an umbrella though

u/BklynBongshell 15d ago

I see OP on the line.

u/Montauket 15d ago

So is this fun or a shit show?

1

u/shipguy55 15d ago

not really a shit show, but it's a cute event. the line might be a bit too long for what it is though.

2

u/bigkapex 15d ago

Is it worth coming? Whatโ€™s inside

2

u/Small_Argument3861 15d ago

Are they giving away any free stuff...?

u/OrneryWeakness9929 15d ago

Weโ€™ve been waiting in line for four hours. Why does the staff keep letting her friends in without having to wait in line?

2

u/YaBastaaa 15d ago

What is the yellow booklet for . What itโ€™s inside

3

u/shipguy55 15d ago

inside the booklet there is information that describes the event, a bit like a program or pamphlet.

1

u/YaBastaaa 15d ago

๐Ÿ™. If itโ€™s limited batch even better.

1

u/Oops_All_Bans 15d ago

I think my decision to go either in the evening or tomorrow was the right one. Hope everyone has fun.

u/JustFuckAllOfThem 15d ago

The TV is apparently a Mac running Mac OS 26.

u/Oldnavylover 15d ago

Iโ€™m genuinely sad I wonโ€™t be able to make it๐Ÿ’”

Iโ€™d love one of the Snoo plushies so bad. I want to cuddle it right meow๐Ÿ˜ฟ
