You guys who stood in line: Do you know exactly what you want when you get there and only shop for that, or do you go in blind and just try to find things? I've got things I always look for, but for the most part my record shopping is done totally blind, so it usually takes me a while. I don't even really like doing it if I don't have at least an hour to shop, unless it's a super small collection.
I didn't go out this year, but I saw some local shops posting on instagram with lines wrapped around the block and it just looked like way too much for me. I hate feeling rushed when I'm in public, so I don't think I would even enjoy myself unless I knew exactly what I wanted, grabbed that and got out.
