Whaaat? I wonder if it will be a more stripped down show, or if he is going all out. You should totally sneak in!

I'm wondering the same thing. Because my uncle and aunt are parents at the school, I don't even know if I'll have to sneak in.

Sounds to me like a charity event (ie Al's time is donated), not necessarily a private booking (where Al would be making a profit).

Wow...that is really soon! That will probably give us a lot of information about the tour about a month ahead of the ACTUAL tour!

IF he plays the full show, which I have no idea if he's going to do the set, or just play some of his hits.

Also contributing to stuff done by one's child's school is just what many parents do...

Does a school for rich kids really need a benefit? :lol: I do think he makes some pretty good money the times he does do private affairs..

Living in LA, I can tell you that all the rich kid schools have benefits.
