How early do I need to be there for registration ?

I'm from west covina too. I got there too early, but the earlier the better to assure your place in line. Bring a book and something to sit on if you mind sitting on the ground. The early bird get the worm

It depends what city you're from I'm from West Covina so I had to get there at 2:30 but there was nobody there I was number 2. People really didn't get there till 3:30 so I would say 3:30am as long your ahead. And not behide.
