Newguest  +  670850 Thu, 12 Feb 09 07:15 PM Hi There are parties thrown by various people and groups who funded or supported the President's electoral campaign. The President goes to each of the parties and says a few words. Rock The Vote MTV had been a significant contributor and they were staging the hippiest and hardest to get into party, so we went to that. 1. I know what "Rock The Vote" is, but why MTV? I don't get this combination. 2. I also do not get the part that they were "staging.." Maybe it means that at that party the best bands played..
