Anyone know how long the sets will be? Has anyone been before? Is it a lot of standing around? Worth it?

What is the running order and set times? What time are doors? Celebration is amazing live. can't wait to see them at webster!

7 PM doors. 8 PM Aziz starts the show. The National is on last, so I think the order of bands is the same order that it appears above.

looks like I'll miss the National yet again.

So I just walked out of what seems a poorly produced show. Ansari wasn't so funny as he just seemed nervous and kept saying awesome. The show kicked off with his "Bad Mix Tape" video, albeit without sound. They kept having problems with sound and video cues- especially whilst giving out awards. That seemed like a total disaster- seemingly no one gave the presenters any directions. Beans/Holy Fuck were pretty good. Too bad there weren't that many people to cheer 'em on. Definately undersold....Hopefully the show improved as it went on. I really wanted to see The National but there was no way I was going to muss around till 1am. Anyway, you got my vote BV.

I left early too, after an hour. What a terrible show.
