6 PM: The back of the venue is blocked off as John McCain will be entering the Ed Sullivan Theater across from the back entrance of Roseland for a taping of The Late Show w/ David Letterman. As of now there are only about ten people on line waiting for the show and a slew of folks both shady and wookie selling extras. This could be the easiest Trey ticket in quite some time.
W. 53rd closed for John McCain, but I could faintly make out Alaska from Trey’s soundcheck
