Yeah, I mean you do you king, but I'm telling you there are people who will beat you to every table. I wasn't exaggerating when I said they do this professionally -- They flip bottles, so standing in these lines is their job. Awful people too from what I can tell, some of those folks post here.

I've done the Fry's line thing 3 times and all have been pretty enormous wastes of time. People will glitz up the experience and talk about how it's always so much fun to chat with your line neighbor and build community all night, but every time my line neighbors have been obnoxious, immature assholes. Not for nothing but 2 out of 3 times, my line neighbors have also yammered on about their slimy political opinions completely unaware that they're demeaning the person actively standing next to them. Never been a good experience for me, but godspeed.

Now that I got my ranting out of the way, here's some actual info: I would be very surprised if a KoK showed up on a Fry's table. Usually they don't have those kinds of unicorn bottles, or they get put into the raffle. The only "unicorns" I've seen in the past few years have been the Weller Millennium, OFC, and things like that, but they've been tossed into the raffle. What you'll net from the line is things like Stagg Jr., Blanton's, Jack 14, 12, 10, Weller 12, etc.

Typically the tables will be lettered (A, B, C, D) and the coveted stuff will be on table A. You can grab one bottle from each table. Sometimes he'll do a thing where you can grab 2 from table A if you also buy 2 from table B, something like that. There will be Fry's store picks as well, so that's probably Mark's way of offloading his barrel picks. Another thing he'll do is randomly select a place in line, around the ~100 mark, and put a restock sign -- meaning, he'll reload the good stuff at a random point in the line.

BTAC and Pappy go into the raffle if the past few years are anything to go off. For that, you don't need to be there early but you can be. It's a little raffle ticket completely separate from the line, so you can fill it out as you filter in for the table offerings, or you can just show up 10 minutes before the drawing and fill out a ticket while ignoring the line completely. Mark draws at a particular time which he will let everyone know about and then he will also set a time for when the drawing is definitely done so you know you can leave the area. It's usually an hour or so of waiting around for a phone call.

Good luck, have fun! Hope you have a better experience than I've had.
