IMATS LA 2015 - Noobie questions.

So I'm going to in January and I'm super excited, but also curious on a few things.

1. How much money do you typically bring with you? Is $500 over kill, enough, to little...
2. How early do you typically get in line?
3.What's the weather like in Pasadena that time of year? I live on the other side of the country so I have no idea.
4. How long do lines typically get? Should I expect to wait an hour per booth or more?

1. I say $500 is good enough to bring because there's soooo many booths inside and so much to buy! Plus many booths have discounts on their stuff during Imats.

2. This is my 3rd time going and I usually like to get there before they open the doors so there's not that many people inside yet and not many lines at booths but that also means having to stand in a long line to go inside the building then stand in another super long line to get your ticket scanned so if you're up to that then I say go for it :)

3. The past 2 times I went it was usually sunny and a little warm. Pants and a shirt would be fine :) look up the weather tho still just to be safe

4. It depended on the booth. Booths like Lime crime especially or big named brands typically have a line you'll have to wait awhile in, unless you get lucky or get there in the morning when it opens. Other booths that arnt as big don't really tend to have a long line or a line at all.

Imats is so much fun and a great place to get your name out there and meet other artist. Only down side is it's going to be really crowded especially since it's sold out... But it'll all be totally worth it :)
