The Beer Line @ McCarren Pool, NYC | pics

By the time Mew left the stage on Saturday, the wait time to get carded, buy a beer ticket, and in turn get one small cup of beer, was ONE HOUR (not an exaggeration). Gothamist is calling it “the beer situation“.

Jerry writes, “When we saw them (Bloc Party) at MacCarren Pool on Saturday, the ability to get beer was hampered by having only two locations for 5,000 people. My sole experience of the Secret Machines is from that line.”
