 <description><![CDATA[<!--paging_filter--><p><strong>CONCERTS</strong><br />Don’t act like you didn’t watch MTV’s <a href="http://www.mtv.com/ontv/dyn/making_the_band_4/series.jhtml" target="_blank"><em>Making the Band 4</em></a>, like you weren’t right there with the girls of Danity Kane and the guys of Day26 (and that other kid no one really seemed to care about) as they stressed to get those vocal tracks down just right, else they faced the cold wrath of P. Diddy. Cast your irony aside and watch these B-list reality T.V. celebs (er … talented musicians?) “bring it” on May 28 when the Making the Band Tour comes to the Hammerstein Ballroom. <a href="http://www.livenation.com/event/getEvent/eventId/325845/" target="_blank">[On Sale: Friday, April 18 at 9 a.m.]<br /></a><br />Hot Tickets is admittedly a bit light this week, but we’d be remiss if we didn’t plug Bon Jovi’s July 14 performance at MSG. It’s now or never: Break out your best bridge-and-tunnel attire, down a few cans of Coors, and be ready to pump those fists as you sing along to “You Give Love a Bad Name.” <a href="http://www.ticketmaster.com/event/1D00408BC23162CD?brand=&amp;tm_link=tm_home_h7" target="_blank">[On Sale Now]</a> <span class='read-more'><a href="http://www.observer.com/2008/hot-tickets-making-band-bon-jovi-i-thurgood-i-i-port-authority-i">&nbsp;read&nbsp;more&nbsp;&raquo;</a></span></p>]]></description>

 <title>Jon Bon Jovi, John Sabini</title>

 <description><![CDATA[<!--paging_filter--><div class="photoCaption" /><img alt="the clintons.JPG" src="http://thepoliticker.observer.com/the%20clintons.JPG" width="340" height="226" /><br />photo credit: Jeff Pulver, Bon Jovi fan</div />

<p>Here is an email I got from a talented artist-turned-political-operative:</p>

<blockquote><p>
"Hey, Azi, I nominate the following for Coolest Political Fundraiser.  If not, then at least Coolest Political Fundraiser Invite."  <p></blockquote>

<p>In that spirit, check out these pictures on The Jeff Pulver blog (via JustHillary) of <a href="http://pulverblog.pulver.com/archives/005194.html">the exclusive</a> Hillary Clinton's fundraising event in East Hampton this weekend. Jeff's coverage has a heavy focus on the entertainment -- Jon Bon Jovi, who performed live at the event. <span class='read-more'><a href="http://www.observer.com/node/29827">&nbsp;read&nbsp;more&nbsp;&raquo;</a></span></p>

And in the invite category, here's an aesthetically pleasing specimen that our artist friend wanted to nominate: an event for John Sabini's re-election campaign in the 13th Senate district. After the jump.
