A couple of weeks ago, the McCarren Park Pool line flowed through the sidewalks for The Breeders free show. Today a reader sent in this photo of the line for MGMT (pronounced "Em Gee Em Tee"), taken just before 2 p.m. However, the skies have darkened and now there's a severe thunderstorm watch, so chances are the line has dissipated if you want to brave the weather.
UPDATE: This just in from the pool at 5:30 p.m. "The Parks Dept. is threatening to shut the pool down if they let anyone else in." Also, Kirsten Dunst has been spotted.
