Bill Clinton's 60th Birthday Blowout

CHELSEA, in case you forgot your blackberry, my address is......

Bill Clinton's 60th Birthday Benefit Blowout - washingtonpost.com:

"The 2,100 invitations began arriving this week. Weekend packages start at $60,000 (Hint: $1,000 for every year of Clinton's age). Next is the 'Vice Chair Package,' for those who contribute $100,000 or raise $250,000. Those who pledge $500,000 or more will receive the 'Birthday Chair Package,' which includes the 'Backstage Pass' dinner and photo with Clinton and platinum seating at the Saturday dinner and the Stones concert.

The Rolling Stones will perform at the Beacon Theater, an art deco landmark on upper Broadway that seats about 3,000 people. According to the invitation, the concert will be taped for an upcoming Martin Scorsese movie about the band. Organizers of the event would not say whether the Stones will be paid for their appearance."
