Tickets are $20,000 and include a performance by Pearl Jam lead singer Eddie Vedder.
By D'Ann White

Democrats with $20,000 to spare are invited to get up close and personal with President Barack Obama when he comes to Tampa Thursday, Sept 20.

The Hillsborough County Democratic Party is hosting an evening reception with the president at the Tampa home of Lisa DeBartolo and husband Donn Miggs, with a special performance by Eddie Vedder, lead singer of Pearl Jam. The exact address will be given out when guests RSVP.

DeBartolo is the executive vice president of DeBartolo Holdings LLC and the daughter of Edward DeBartolo Jr., the former owner of the San Francisco 49ers.

This Thursday's fundraiser isn't cheap. According to the Hillsborough County Democratic Party, tickets are $20,000. This is expected be Obama's last major fundraiser before the end of this financial reporting cycle so organizers are hoping for a big turnout.

According to a blog on Tampabay.com, chef Tyler Florence will be cooking the food and the event is expected to be less than 50 people

So, what's new?

Now, let me see if I can go buy Riot Act at Target - I really want to hear Green Disease.

No, but seriously - hope he plays Grievance for Obama.

I have always concidered Eddie to be one of the great voices in music right up there with Roy Orbinson
but I don't care who the president is or who he invites.....$20,000 ??? for dinner with a soon to be X-President..
not in my life time.

Good post.


I'll say this - it would be pretty cool if he went up there and did Bushleager with ...

both Romney and Obama masks.

Then...

,... at that point...

he'd gain back a bit of respect from me.

But, that won't happen. He's become as much of a corporate whore as the people he use to sing about. I think he said this would happen long ago to a classic melody - "and with them, I become one".

I'm still waiting to hear the band declare that they are donating all the money they make from the Oracle show to charity.

Maybe he will play No More.

Heck, if I had to suffer through it during the Bush years, why shouldn't the guy who still has the troops overseas have to listen to it. :?

wow man really ?
this is one of the reasons I don't think rock-n-roll bands should mix with politics of any sort,fan's expectations get shit on, if your angry about the orical deal brother there is nobody to be angry at except yourself (sorry to sound so rude) any band in the business is in for the money and that's the bottom line, lots of bands endorse politions and I'm sure they believe in their hearts that the polition they endorse is a good one but in my opinion they do so at a risk because politics is a ugly business and a band is lending their good name to a polition or even a company in good faith and there they open them selfs up to the politions or companys good fortune....or misfortune.

Excellent taste there! Roy's voice was just...beauty. Sweet, honest beauty.

Anyway, Ed playing this gig (something that perhaps only the very - and evil?! - wealthy could afford) seems odd to me, but he's always walked his own road, so...have at it, man!

(perhaps he's illustrating the irony of the "haves have not a clue" thing )
