Boss is back in town
Bruce Springsteen is bringing his act back to the Verizon Center on Monday, and at least four lawmakers are holding fundraisers on the occasion: Rep. John Carter (R-TX), Rep. John Barrow (D-GA), Sen. Tom Harkin (D-IA), and Rep. John Hall (D-NY). (What’s with all the Johns?)
This isn’t as many as turned out for the boss’ May concert, but there may still be more invitations floating out there that we haven’t seen. (Please, send them to us!)
Last time, ordinary people had a tough time getting tickets, while the lobbyists attending the fundraisers got easy entre, if for a price higher than face value.

We also post information we receive about parties where members of Congress are expected to participate—such as convention or inaugural parties.
Since we don't hear about all the parties, you can also tell us if you know where the party is and we don't.
