Obama, Billy Joel & Bruce Springsteen

I just got this invite: Obama will be in NYC in a couple of weeks and will be at a concert to raise money for his campaign by Billy Joel and Bruce Springsteen (!) at 8:30pm on Thursday, Oct. 16th.  Balcony seats are only $500 -- heck, I'd pay that even if it WASN'T for a good cause!  My wife and I just bought 2 tickets.  They will go fast, so book your seat now at: https://donate.barackobama.com/page/contribute/Oct16Concert.  Further details about this event and other Obama events are at the end of this email.
