Republican presidential nominee John McCain is in town today. It seems the former P.O.W. will be dinning over at the Fairmont (for a $10,000/plate fundraiser). But wait, there's more: Members of No Soldier Left Behind, a "campaign promoting a comprehensive plan to end the war in Iraq and improve the security and well being of Iraqis and Americans," will protest outside the hotel tonight. If you want to be a part of the melee, the angry kids will convergence in front of the Fairmont Hotel at 6:30 p.m. In other news, their bar is simply wonderful for a well-made cocktail. We strongly recommend ordering a vespa or four. (CBS 5, via BCN)

So did anyone crash this? I would've but I am in Seattle for a couple of days. I know that they would let me in as I have my repub registered voting card in my pocket, but alas, no $10K.
Actually, the event was $2,300/person or $1,000 if under 35. That was for the general reception, with a private dinner beforehand being attended by fundraisers who were able to aggregate $15,000-100,000 in donations.
$10,000 was the amount for a couple to get into the general reception and have a photo taken with McCain.
