When it's crowded it's crowded, we all have to live with it. I was also here when admission to the seating and dancing areas were by ticket only - that didn't work well either.

It's high season, Tuesday night was a beautiful night, and a popular band was playing at LSL. It was busy, but I thought very manageable. I showed up at 6:00, found a place for my folding chair, hooked up with some friends. After the 6:00 set, which I think ended around 6:45, some folks left, others arrived.
The only times I've felt like it was "too crowded" (for me, others were having a grand time) have been during the seasonal holidays when it seemed there were probably a lot of families visiting, and even that has its own special feel, seeing younger adults, and little kids having fun that is not available to them on a daily basis from wherever they come.
I think it's a much better sign to have the place crowded than it would be to go down there and have it be dead. That would make me worry about the future of this place. When I've had enough of the party, I go home.
BTW, one of the folks I met down there was visiting a pal of mine, and it was his first time in TV. He lives in New Jersey. He kept saying, "I can't wait to bring my wife down here. She's gonna love it. We're buying a place here"....I asked him if he could taste the Kool-Ade they'd spiked his beer with. He didn't get the joke.
