For instance, Mary Mowad Guiteau and sister KarenSteven flew to Los Angeles for the finalé of AmericanIdol. Their seats were “amazing,” according to Mary, “16 rows from the stage! We sat in the sectionwith the contestants’ families, and on Wednesday night, several ofthe celebrities were just a couple of rows in front of us… I still can’t believe we were actually there!”
