Bill dancing into the Century Ballroom for Hillary Clinton campaign fundraiser

While Bernie Sanders Democratic Partied at the Comet, 2016 US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is sending Bill to a classier Pike/Pine joint.

Ex-president Bill Clinton will be on Capitol Hill Thursday at a $500 and up fundraiser held at 10th and Pine’s Century Ballroom:

Please join us for a Reception in support of Hillary for America featuring special guest President Bill Clinton Thursday, December 3, 2015 12:00 pm – 2:00 pm Century Ballroom Seattle, Washington

“No public events have been announced and a Clinton campaign spokesman said the event would be closed to the media,” the Seattle Times reports. A $250 “young professional” rate is also available for the Century Ballroom event.

In his August fundraising visit to the Comet, Sanders spoke on themes of economic equity and social responsibility. “This income and wealth inequality is grotesque, it is immoral, it is unsustainable,” Sanders said.

Century and owner Hallie Kuperman represent the only arts-related group to remain in the Odd Fellows building as it transitioned to retail and office space in the late 2000s. In 2012, we spoke to Kuperman about the 15-year anniversary of her ballroom. It’s not clear if Clinton will include a saxophone performance in his Century Ballroom visit but one can hope.

UPDATE 12/2/15 4:30 PM: The event has been postponed:

Due to the passing of his close friend and former national security advisor Sandy Berger, President Clinton’s trip to Seattle is postponed. The Hillary for America event with President Clinton is being rescheduled and we will be in touch shortly with the new date.

If you are unable to attend on the rescheduled date, we are happy to accommodate you at another event or discuss other arrangements. Thank you for your understanding and support.
