Today I received an email from the Obama campaign inviting me to attend a lunch with Al Gore in London on 25th September. Price: $10,000. And for $28,500, I can also attend a half-hour reception beforehand.
Wow! I haven't spent that much on lunch since the internet bubble.
Last year I was invited to attend an entrepreneurs breakfast at 11 Downing Street with then-Chancellor Gordon Brown. Price for breakfast: 45 quid -- about $90.
Say what you will about Gordon Brown, but compared to Al Gore he sure is value for money.
