Here's a hint. If you guys stay at the Farmers Daughter Hotel across the street, the night desk clerk will watch the line for you and give you a wake up call if its getting long...or do whatever you ask. We asked for a wakeup call at 4:45am (to be in line at 5:00am) and he called us a little earlier than that saying about 15 people were in line already, since we had also told him we wanted to be seated in the first or second row.
We went out, got into line, waited for the order of arrival numbers to be passed out (make sure you take your tickets with you) and then went back to the hotel for a 2.5 hour nap and shave/shower/breakfast before returning at 9:50am.
At the tapings we were at, the "return at 8am for priority numbers" had been changed to 9:50am, which was nice actually.
Also, it appears Monday's are busier than Wednesday's...so you might want to get in line earlier on a Monday than on a Wednesday.
Have fun you guys...wish I was there with you.
