    Rock Legends to Play Obama Fundraiser

    The Pennsylvania Campaign for Change has just announced a Monday, October 13 concert fundraiser to benefit Obama for America featuring many Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees and other American music icons. Additionally, the show will be a very large voter outreach opportunity for the Pennsylvania Obama campaign, which has already built the largest volunteer-based campaign in Pennsylvania’s history. The campaign has more than 70 field offices and thousands of volunteers preparing for an unprecedented Get Out the Vote operation. There are now more than 1 million more Democrats in the state than Republicans, an increase of 500,000 since 2004.

    Tickets will be available at 12:00 p.m. EDT on Friday, September 19, and are $50 for the general public and $30 for University Park students with a Pennsylvania State University ID. More ticket information is available online at:

    Get togethers
    Anyone want to try and make our own after party at some bar or something? I went to Penn State, so I know the town inside and out, I'd be happy to help arrange and give suggestions if anyone else was interested in meeting up with others...

    dewahba -I agree that there
    dewahba - I agree that there are MANY causes out there. This one is as equally important, though - don't you think? We're talking about changing the direction of this country. The 2 candidates have VERY different ideas about which way we need to go. So, the boys feel this is the right one....I understand people will disagree, and that's their right. But this issue is important, I wouldn't diminish that fact. Also, DSO?!!! Really? No offense to those guys - they're wonderful musicians and do a great tribute to the GD...but they're a tribute band. Not that their opinion is worth less on a humanity-level, but jeeeeez....who cares what they think? If they came out in support of a candidate, it'd be like "oh lookie....a tribute band is supporting a candidate" and they'd pack a house of supporters about 1/2 the size of BJC. These 4 cats reuniting AND playing with ABB is a slightly bigger deal, IMO, than a touring tribute band.

Lots will open on SUNDAY! This should mean there will be a serious Shakedown street! On the ticket front: "Some patrons had attempted to purchase more than the limit of two tickets. If you had created a second account and purchased another set of tickets, you should have been notified by Ticketmaster that your order was cancelled and money was credited back to your charge card. In the event that you received tickets or TicketFast emails on a cancelled order, NOTE THAT THE BARCODE HAS BEEN INVALIDATED AND WILL NOT ALLOW ENTRY INTO THE BUILDING. Patrons with cancelled tickets will be denied entry and information will be provided for the PA State Attorney General’s Office in the event they need to file a complaint regarding any tickets purchased on the secondary market (StubHub, eBay, TicketNetwork, etc)."
