For those interested, I will be attending the State Theatre & Beacon Theatre shows :). I already have my State Theatre tix--Premium Orchestra Row K. Drop me a line if you'd like to meet up @ either of these shows. Because the State Theatre is quite nearby & not as busy/crowded as a big city like NYC, there is a greater chance of getting to talk to Natalie afterwards. I'll be there waiting! :)
