You got THAT right.

No one arriving after about 1 pm could get anywhere NEAR our location.

ALOHA RONNIE, FIT-AIM-ACT-1 and I got there around 10 am, and even THEN the crowd was already four or five deep at the rail.

We vigorously defended the "alcove" of the large while builing right at the northeast corner of Hollywood and Highland - where Ted set up our base camp last year, and there was room for at least a dozen of us in that area...
...but the police would not even allow a "hostage exchange" - in which the three of us already on the inside would promise to leave - permanently - so that you and Ted and Outraged could go in to take our places. ;(
There were just TOO MANY other people who also wanted to get in, that they had to adopt this disappointing policy.
We really want the folks to see your ELF costume...
...and Ted's new Uncle Sam outfit:

I was kept off of the corner as well. After last year, I would say I was pretty bummed too.

Apparently there were some back doors to some of the businesses that would have allowed us to get past the sidewalk blockade. We may have to research that for next year.
