I've gone to shows at the Paradise before. It's a club that usually plays lesser-known local bands and some more well-known bands. It's not "grungy" but it certainly isn't run down. The floor is concrete, and there are no seats, but there is also nothing separating the audience from the stage. If you get there early enough you could be standing right in front of the stage, 2 feet away from her.
The one complaint I have is that there are 3 large support pillars, and one is right in front of the stage.
I'm curious, any news about goods (T-Shirts, etc.) for this tour? Did her last one even have goods?

While I like the Paradise, I would've preferred the B of A. You sacrifice some distance from the stage, but it's a much bigger venue and it doesn't have a big pillar.
