People are already lined up waiting to get into Kanye West‘s hyped-up show at South By Southwest.
Only 1,000 people will get into the super-exclusive show, which is why the line formed at 6 a.m. along West Street in Austin.
There’s not much to look at — the line is by an ugly power station on a street where few people are walking — but fans are making the best of it, sitting under umbrellas for shade, blaring College Dropout from a boombox. The show doesn’t start until Midnight so they’ve got a long wait.

Jonathan Lucio, a SXSW volunteer from Corpus Christi, posted up at 9 a.m. since he hasn’t seem ‘Ye before. There’s an awful lot of other music to see bit nothing caught his eye so he’s selling his badge and chilling with a crowd of about 50 that’ll get much larger after the sun gets a little lower.

I almost decided to hop in line with them… If that sounds crazy you’ve probably never seen Kanye before.
