For anyone going to the Hold Steady tonight at Webster Hall:
Spoke to the Tribeca Film Festival people. The 30-minutes-early door policy will not be as strictly enforced as at film events (where they re-sell no-show tickets to avoid empty seats). However, they will likely close the doors by 6:45/7:00.

The Hold Steady...Webster Hall...anonymous 4:15. Looks like the planets of suck will be in alignment tonight.
