Friday night was the CMJ Clap Your Hands Say Yeah show. While planning my trip to the NYC I had scoured the internet for shows I wanted to see while I was there and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah topped my list. I wanted to see this show more than any show I've been to in a long time. I knew it was going to be nearly impossible to get into, especially after learning that Mercury Lounge has a 150 person capacity and those with CMJ badges would have priority for entrance. I debated standing in line all day, but eventually decided to go to free day at MOMA, and take my chances at Mercury afterwards. When we got there, there were two lines coming out of the club that led all the way down the block and around the corners in both directions. We assumed, of course, that we were fucked.
