Seattle in line

They say Seattle is the only place where you can see a person waiting for the green light to cross the street under the rain when no car is even in sight.
Today I decided to "leave early" to go see Dean at the Seattle Town Hall. I am always late, I have always been late. But today I got there a good hour in advance. Well you see in the picture what I've seen. The people in line had already circumnavigated the whole block and a second ring of people was piling up for another half block lap around it! The rain was coming down, but you know seattolites, they don't even know...
No need to mention that I didn't make it in. I only got to the entry hall where the nice Dean staff put a speaker for us "latecomers"... The place was packed!
It must be because, as the media says, Dean is finished...
