Just heard from VA. She's in a seat -- finally!
She originally had seats in row F but "upgraded" to Row B but in her words the view was "totally obstructed". After turning down some crappy seats that they offered her instead, she settled on her old seats in Row F.
Sounds like it was a great big hassle that she didn't need -- but she's in her seat and ready to rock!!!
8:02 -- The lights are down -- they're starting now!!!
