So that's the basis, if you must know. Fellows: I'd done the same exact thing before--Saturday, prime time--and I was in and out in 45 minutes. So that's the basis, if you must know.

And the line at the Uptown was like, HUGE dude! I can't understand it! Why would there be such a long line? It's DC, dude! There should be a line that long at that time of day! It totally bummed me out! Dumbass. Duude, I went to see Batman on opening day! And the line at the Uptown was like, HUGE dude! I can't understand it! Why would there be such a long line?

Two years later, I go at around 8 in the morning, no line.

The first time I moved to the front of the block-long line and they let me in a separate line... it probably cut my wait from like 2 hours to 30 minutes. The second time they just made me get in the regular line, but then they moved me up since it was a reinspection. Anyway, it doesn't hurt to make an appointment.
