I'd love to see Burn back - he was absolutely adorable and I'm pretty sure at least half of the attendees must have come away (like I did) more than a little bit in love with him...
(he does give good hugs doesn't he?)
I didn't get into the queue until 7.45ish, and was one of the first people to buy silver, so I think it's only if you wanted a very low number gold that people got up ridiculously early (or didn't go to bed)
