First in Line for iPhone is Compulsive Line Sitter

 Assets Resources 2007 06 Gregpacker Small

Greg Packer, the first guy in line for an iPhone at Apple’s 5th Ave. store, is a seasoned, professional line sitter with years of experience.

Packer was first in line at Ground Zero, the first to sign NYC’s Princess Di condolence book and slept in the snow in Washington to see GW Bush after his inauguration.
If there’s any kind of event in New York that requires lining up, Packer is there, reported the Columbia News Service in 2002.

“Packer has made obsessions out of being first in line and of being in the company of celebrities,” the news service wrote.

“This is what I like doing,” he said. “You only live once, you might as well make the most of it.”
