And so, after making our purchases and setting up a post-show meeting place in the lobby, leona_roja and rhodesy and I made our way to our seats. Granted they weren't as good as some, but they were far better than many others, and I was pleased. We were right on the aisle which left me ample opportunity to play social butterfly and go harass Amy, Awdrey, and Semi ( Read more... )

I'm still dealing with Post-Show Let-Down (PSLD) so bear with me.
