    Franken planning fundraiser in Washington

    By Cynthia Dizikes | Published Thu, Jan 15 2009 8:41 pm

    WASHINGTON, D.C. -- When Al Franken travels to Washington, D.C., for Barack Obama's inauguration, he'll be making the most of his trip to the nation's Capitol.

    The comedian, turned Democratic pundit, turned politician will be throwing a fundraiser at the luxury Willard InterContinental Hotel this weekend to help pay for his campaign and recount costs before ringing in the new administration on Tuesday.

    A guest list to the exclusive event was unavailable, but at least one famous attendee could be confirmed: Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead.

    Weir is not scheduled to perform, but who knows, Franken is reportedly a very big Grateful Dead fan.
