HellGate NYC is covering the TFG hoopla today with a running blog

They've been waiting in line for media access to the court since yesterday:

A lot of line drama among the media. I had no idea there were professional line-sitters.

...5:22 p.m. Standing in front of Hell Gate on the line is Adonis Porch, who is a professional (though part-time) line sitter for Same Old Line Dudes, LLC. The company charges $50 for up to two hours, then $25 per hour after that.

"I'm actually out in the field and in the rain, snow, 1,000 degree weather, 10 below," Porch told Hell Gate. "And I'm waiting for your wants."

Porch, who is waiting for NBC News, said he has sat on line for "sneakers...passports, Hamilton [tickets]...cronuts, cookie dough ice cream, sample sales, you name it."

"One of our biggest requests is Lucali," Porch said, referring to the Carroll Gardens pizza spot that seats tables by in-person-reservation only.

What was the longest line he'd ever waited on? Porch's boss, Robert Samuel stepped in to answer that one.

"It was a pre-K program. And it was a free pre-K program," Samuel said. "You had to line up. We were in cold weather for like, four or five days."

Here's their live blog for today:

...Back on the press line, the underemployed journalists and professional line sitters alike are being relieved by the credentialed, well-heeled press, eager for their chance to report on history (all without paying their dues on the line). Bright-eyed, late-arriving reporters without the resources for hired help survey the queue and receive steely glares in response from those of us at the front of it. (Again, if you'd like our spot, we’re down to make a deal!) Pizza boxes and empty beer cans and cigarette butts and possibly two lost dice belonging to an anonymous Hell Gate reporter litter the sidewalk...

2. There's pics on their site

I just didn't want to hotlink a small, independent media outlet

EDIT ADD: I mean, there are already pics of their time waiting in line for press access. When the big thing happens, if they get photos I am positive they will post them. Maybe they'll even tweet one or two. If they do that, then I'll hotlink those because, f*ck twitter.

4. I have no idea

This ain't some open field in the middle of flyover country. She would have to navigate the neighborhood, the crowds, the press, the police and security just like everyone else.
