DNC: Rock the Vote: N*E*R*D, Fall Out Boy, Jakob Dylan, others??? Monday Aug 25 @ Ellie Caulkins
Rock the Vote is the nonpartisan group that most people my age associate with MTV's Tabitha Soren, or wait...was that Choose or Lose? Same difference no? Rock the Vote's mission is to get young people involved in politics. For the DNC they are planning a "massive bash" capped by a concert with N*E*R*D, Fall Out Boy, Jakob Dylan and others. The requisite VIP private party promises the "hottest VIPS and celebrity guests." Yawn. Did you know that yawns are contagious? Fact.
More than 2,500 guests will experience a live concert in the world-class acoustical Ellie Caulkins Opera House. The show will feature exclusive performances and collaboration by marquee artists including FALL OUT BOY, N*E*R*D and Jakob Dylan.The party continues as 400 guests head to the official after party featuring Nick Cannon on the turntables with hottest VIPS and celebrity guests filling the room. [press release]
This Myspace page claims another Rock the Vote show is happening at Sculpture Park near the Denver Performing Arts Center on Friday Aug 29. Sculpture Park is basically the front lawn of Ellie Caulkins. I'm confused. I will update this post once I get better information.
