Joe's TPM memories. Saw it for the first time at Union Square. His ticket was for 4:30 AM. He got there at midnight and hung out in the Virgin Megastore. At exactly midnight, the PA system played the Star Wars opening theme. He waited in line for two and a half hours. Waiting in line was a big part of the "Star Wars experience". It became a community thing.
