caveat that I have not seen Paranormal Activity (yet) but used to work at CTG and have been to a lot of their shows : ) the balcony in the Ahmanson is pretty far back, it is not a great view, I would recommend mezzanine if you can swing it

for @kate.cishet.net: Stray Italian Greyhound - Vienna Teng (no instrumental track for you this year!), can't remember if we've talked about Vienna Teng but she's a remarkable pianist and live looper and this song has a levity and cleverness I think you'd love
