The line moved… A little
by Robert Hodgen in WWDC on June 9th, 2008. 2 Comments.

We moved up one floor. Below are some pictures of a large group of developers moving up the escalators (great lobby shots too).

When we got up stairs we were instructed to wait again, from what the Apple staff are telling us, we will proceed up another set of escalators.

The last photo is were I’m currently waiting (the photo is looking towards the front of the line, although there are a number of people infront of me, I’m towards the front of the line (tons of people here!)).
