ugh I have to be at work
Does anyone know if there will still be freebies around at 3 or 4? I could probably swing by then...but not before unfortunately.

There should be stuff although I don't think you'll score the Chum FM bag but you will get more or less everything. The good thing about going at this time is that there are hardly any line ups - lunch time btw 12-2 p.m. is brutal.

We don't know what is in the bag until you get there. If you get a bag, it's everything that they hand out in any event. I highly suggest tag teaming with a friend or co-worker, it will make the whole process easier. Bring plenty of patience and some water.

yeah I figured too late for the gift bag unfortunately, but I can't get there any earlier or else I would try to aim for making it at 10! I may stop by right before work though and see if they are setting up or whatever to see what is being set up and get a game plan since there shouldn't be anyone around and I can pass by there on my way to work :p

My boyfriend came with me and gave me all the loot that he got. I did the Teriyaki Experience spin-the-wheel and won a $5 gift card, and he won a $10 gift card! Here's our combined stash:
