  9. Went to Catch Me If You Can Event at Barnes and Nobles today!

    They signed cd’s and sang 3 songs. You needed this bracelet to get a good seat though. It was actually one of the most incredible experiences of my life. I’ve seen the show and met the cast before but I had no idea how hysterical they were. There will be videos to follow, therefore proving my point. Oh I didn’t get a cd (I’ve been spending waaayyyy too much money lately) but just in case you want to know what it looks like there’s a picture of my friends :)
