I'm going (as is my husband) - and someone else from this board is too (though he may want to keep quiet about it so I won't mention his name).

I have seen Jon solo at political events before. He played the Democratic fundraiser at Radio City in 2000 and 2004. He is usually quieter and more low key than he is at a regular Bon Jovi show but I still enjoy it.

If nothing else a night in the city and dinner out will be welcome after the Christmas craziness.
