BREAKING: Greg Packer is Still Alive
Remember Greg Packer, the shameless guy who sat shirtless at the front of the iPhone line? I'm sorry if you do, that might be partially my fault. Well, Greg is still around, and our intrepid videographer Alex Goldberg happened to run into him this weekend. He still has that first iPhone and actually saw our horrible Photoshop Contest dedicated to him. Was he offended? Are you kidding? It was free publicity, something this guy lives for.

Greg Packer Seen in the Wild, Still First in Line
Greg Packer, everyone's favorite professional linesitter, was spotted by our enterprising videographer Alex Goldberg this weekend at the Village Voice Siren Festival at Coney Island. Where was he? Up at the very front, of course. Whether or not he'd ever heard of any of the bands he saw is currently unknown. You'll always be at the end of the line to our hearts, Packer.

Sweaty iPhone Linesitter Photoshop Contest: Pure Horror
My God. This was by far the biggest response to a Photoshop contest yet, with entries filling my inbox every minute or so for the past 24 hours. Stop! For the love of everything holy, please stop! I can't take looking at this guy any more! I feel completely dead inside. Consider this the last post focusing on Greg Packer on Gizmodo unless he invents a new laptop or something. Below, punish yourself with over 50 of the most warped and unsettling Photoshops your precious eyes will ever see. I'm sorry in advance. More »

news from the front
Storms Ahead for The Brave 40 on 5th Ave
We've seen some comments asking for more details about the action on 5th Avenue. Well here it is, as requested. At the fore, of course, is the man who by now needs no introduction. Greg Packer was incredibly amiable, talking to anyone who approached him. He even paused for a moment to let us snap the photo above. Though he has been the highlight these past few days, he's joined by about 40 others who are also camped around the Apple Cube, wrapping around the corner at 5th Avenue and 58th.
lay of the land
All Quiet on the 5th Avenue Apple Store Front
Proving the old adage, "The media loves a whore," the man with the pole posish at the 5th Avenue Apple Store iPhone line, Greg Packer, was besieged by microphones and cameras. A CNBC news van was on its way out as I came in, and it looks like Fox News woke up one of their reporters for a quick stand-up. No comb, buddy? What startled me most was when Packer rose out of his seat and left. You think the #1 man in line would guard that spot with his life. He came back, though, and I'm glad he did. Because he changed shirts. And I saw them. Both of them. The nipples that are more well known than Packer's day job. Happily for you, I was too stunned to get a snap.

Greg Packer, iPhone Camper: Drunk Toy Edition
Noted iPhone waiter Greg "The Line" Packer may look nice and gentleman-like now, but wait 'til you see him with a mug of booze. Just 4 AA batteries in this Happy Drinker, who has more than a passing resemblance to Greg, will make him drink, dance and jiggle his stomach. How they managed to capture his essence so well is anyone's guess. More »
the death of innocence
Greg Packer enjoys attention. He sits in lines for all sorts of events just so the media will ask his boring opinion on things and he can read about himself in newspapers. You like publicity, Packer? I'll give you some goddamned publicity. It's time for another Gizmodo Photoshop Contest.

Breaking: First in Line Guy is a Pro Linesitter, Sweats a Lot
[UPDATED: Nipple Shot by Infoweek] You know that guy who's first in line at the 5th Ave Apple Store? Greg Packer? Turns out he's no Apple fanboy. No, he's an obsessive linesitter. He was the first person to see Ground Zero when the viewing platform opened, the first to sign the condolence book at the British consulate when Princess Diana died, and the first in line to greet President George W. Bush after his inauguration. Hell, the guy waited in line for eight hours to meet Brandy. Brandy! More »
