Maybe because it is 7:45 in the morning, I don't quite understand this question.
I brought my digital camera. They had a lot of staff members there and were extremely strict about it. At least for my group. People who pulled out the camera got yelled at immediately. There are a bunch of people who are daring that ignored the staff and took some pictures anyway. Are you one of those people?
The lines went really fast. You pretty much step up to Lord Stanley and the photographer will just snap a picture without a care in the world. It's kind of unfortunate because the photographer doesn't care if the picture comes out bad or not... =\ (This is why you probably heard people mention Chaz in this thread. He did it for free and he did it right.)
Anyway, right after the picture we were pretty much shooed away so the people next in line can take a picture with it. All I did was get to touch the cup for 10 seconds. I didn't even get a chance to read one single name on the cup. It was just a fun little event really. "Better than nothing" is what I'm telling myself.
