About all those people bundled up in line now on Houston and Ludlow

The phone lines are going batty with calls about that long line stretching from in front of the Mercury Lounge around the corner and down Ludlow.

Well!

These folks are waiting in line for the last LCD Soundsystem show ever ... on April 2 at Madison Square Garden. The Mercury Lounge box office opens at 10 for general admission tickets.

And The Village Voice's @VoiceStreet is among those brave, yet frozen souls in line. Despite numb, frozen fingers, they are doing their best at live tweeting. And they sent these photos...



And EV Grieve reader Michael sent along this photo..


Reminds me of the time I waited in line to see Frampton at the Garden in '79.

Well, not really...

Anyway, it's getting ugly...
