The Yo La Tengo show at the Cradle has been repurposed as a benefit
for the Bowles for Senate Camaign and the Democratic Party of NC. The
ticket prices were boosted from $16 to $20 to raise money for the
cause. The members of Yo La Tengo are donating additional proceeds -
beyond the amount generated from the increase in ticket prices and,
well, they're heroes.

Now for the details of the show: Special musical guests including
David Kilgour, Mac McCaughan, Chris Stamey, Mitch Easter and others.
So, it's also a Sneakers reunion of sorts. An important moment in
local music history as well as an important moment in the now. Comedy
by Jon Benjamin and Jon Glaser. Check out
http://www.midnightpajamajam.com/ -to get a feel for their stuff.
They've also worked with all the greats: Conan O'Brien, David Cross,
Tom Sharpling and the Aqua Teen Hunger Force. This will be more of a
Revue, than a show with opening acts.

The tickets are on sale now and this will almost certainly sell out -
an e-mail will be sent a week before the show to a large mailing list
of young democrats. Don't postpone!
