All seven and we'll stand in line to see Prince

You want to see Prince at First Ave tonight? Get in line. On second thought, maybe you're better off staying home. Kyle Mattson from More Cowbell is in line right now, at 10 a.m., and he estimates himself to be halfway down the line, somewhere in the middle of 8th St. between 1st Ave and Hennepin. And he got there at 7:15 a.m. Matt Perkins, who books the Nomad and is a solid guy, apparently got there at 3 a.m. and he's halfway down the Hennepin side of First Ave. He's getting a ticket, but just one, because that's all anybody's getting.

Kyle's reporting that someone just came by with a cart of french toast and water for sale, and he's passing the time chatting (presumably both with real life people and on the internet), browsing the intertubes, and reading mags and newspapers.

Tickets go on sale at 3 p.m.
