The wonderful Sara Mahoney was a super fan, turned merch seller, turned tour manager for Stephen Kellogg.  Sara is one of the best people to be on the road with, because of her kindness, hard-work, and being the best van shotgun seat passenger in the game!  She is the first person I go to after the show for an honest opinion of how the show went, and she always tells it straight.  In this episode...
