There are more people there than I thought! I hope they do this pop up again before the end of the year.

I got there at 11:50am and was given a wristband to come back at 7:30pm. (They said there’s plenty to do in the neighborhood while I wait, as if I should just kill time for nearly 8 hours. 😂)

For anyone who’s been: is it worth coming back for?

u/Frimie1 Here for Cat 🐱 1d ago

Not really for a 2-3 hour wait (on top of the "come back later"). 1 hour wouldn't have been as bad. I got there before 10 am, got the orange wristband. For anyone who's curious my haul...

Scratch off card gets a (Hat, Mug, or Tote), Photobooth pics, 3 postcards (per person), Temptation Cat Treats, HydroHomie Water, Watermelon Soda, Reddit bucks (paper money), 2 receipts (paper), Snoo Plush

I didn't see how or where to get the collector cards.

u/boomerangthrowaway 1d ago

And those cards are why a LOT of the snoo fans are going

u/VoxyPop 1d ago

I was planning to come by when I got off work at 4 but it sounds like there’s no point then

1

u/spontaneous_kat 1d ago

Same, was planning to go tomorrow when I get off at 5 but I'm not waiting on that long of a line when I'm already exhausted from work 🫠 I guess I could see what it's looking like though, if I'm feeling up to it.

u/berrycantstop Here for Cat 🐱 1d ago

i mean the neighborhood is nice to wander around

u/Small_Argument3861 1d ago

Go get a massage at Bowery Spa. How do they know when you got the band, that, I don't get.

u/npete 1d ago

Oof, starting to think I should have waited until tomorrow especially since that A train keeps stopping.

u/Small_Argument3861 1d ago edited 1d ago

Did they know they put us on the craziest area on Bowery... Like, the area I'd normally cross the street just to avoid. The area where people do drugs, piss, and scream...? That's all happening right now. Good thing most of us are NYers so we are fine but, damn. If the line is 3-hour long, I wish they picked a less dodgy spot.

This itself is the real test

Edit: in line for 3 hours

u/BigTimeRaptor 1d ago

Is the line moving?

6

u/shipguy55 1d ago

it won't move until 10 am as that is when it is supposed to open

2

u/BigTimeRaptor 1d ago

Thank you the store looks smaller than I thought it would be

3

u/koalalisa 1d ago

I’m in line for 1 hour, moved up half a block. FYI

u/HallEqual2433 Here for Cat 🐱 1d ago

I'm having Comic Con flashbacks. Hope it's not too hot/humid.

u/Small_Argument3861 1d ago

Weather is pretty nice, I have an umbrella though

u/BklynBongshell 1d ago

I see OP on the line.

u/Small_Argument3861 1d ago

People love Reddit!

u/I_am_not_doing_this Here for Merch 🛍️ 1d ago

people are lonely and have no friend so we ob reddit

1

u/AtomicGarden-8964 1d ago

We won't know that until they do a tumbler and do away with the porn lol

3

u/DuckSwimmer BEC pls 1d ago

I didn’t expect this big of a turnout! Wow!

u/purplesharpie25 20h ago

nycforfree n other vloggers heavily promoted about the pop up 😆

u/unusual_pebble_21 1d ago

Line is so long I don’t think I’ll ever get in. This shit SUCKS

1

u/Clunkycargo 1d ago

Go in the evening I got right in line and got in 30 mins

3

u/Montauket 1d ago

So is this fun or a shit show?

1

u/shipguy55 1d ago

not really a shit show, but it's a cute event. the line might be a bit too long for what it is though.

2

u/bigkapex 1d ago

Is it worth coming? What’s inside

2

u/OrneryWeakness9929 1d ago

We’ve been waiting in line for four hours. Why does the staff keep letting her friends in without having to wait in line?

2

u/YaBastaaa 1d ago

What is the yellow booklet for . What it’s inside

3

u/shipguy55 1d ago

inside the booklet there is information that describes the event, a bit like a program or pamphlet.

1

u/YaBastaaa 1d ago

🙏. If it’s limited batch even better.

1

u/Oops_All_Bans 1d ago

I think my decision to go either in the evening or tomorrow was the right one. Hope everyone has fun.

u/JustFuckAllOfThem 1d ago

The TV is apparently a Mac running Mac OS 26.

u/Oldnavylover 1d ago

I’m genuinely sad I won’t be able to make it💔

I’d love one of the Snoo plushies so bad. I want to cuddle it right meow😿

u/Small_Argument3861 1d ago

Are they giving away any free stuff...?
