Our neighborhood, and the SFJAZZ Center in particular, will host a very special guest next Monday -- President Barack Obama himself.

The 44th President will be the headliner at a fundraiser for the Democratic National Committee, as it prepares for the 2014 and 2016 elections. Nicola Miner, daughter of Oracle Corporation cofounder Bob Miner, and her husband Robert Mailer Anderson will serve as co-hosts of the event. As you can imagine, tickets to the event won't run cheap -- they range from $1,000 for general admission to $15,000 for a co-chair "clutch reception." The time of the luncheon has yet to be announced. Stay tuned for more information on how this might impact your comings and goings next Monday, as the President’s visit will no doubt cause some street shutdowns and security perimeters to be formed. Oh, and it you try to get a glimpse of Obama in Hayes Valley next week, feel free to tag your photos on Instagram and Twitter with @hayeswire! We’d love to see the big event from your point of view.
