Acoustic Set: JonBon and Friends: Nov 16

So, I got this in my mailbox this afternoon, but I don't quite know what to make of it.

AMERICAN EXPRESS PROVIDES CARDMEMBERS THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPERIENCE JON BON JOVI UNPLUGGED FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY TO BENEFIT THE JON BON JOVI SOUL FOUNDATION AND CITY HARVEST

The night includes an acoustic set from Jon Bon Jovi Friends, a screening of the trailer from the Bon Jovi documentary, “When We Were Beautiful” followed by Q&A with Jon and the documentary's director Phil Griffin. All attendees will receive a copy of the documentary, Bon Jovi's new album “The Circle” and book “When We Were Beautiful.”

I wonder about this... JonBon and friends? Why not the band? I mean, I'm all for raising money for charity, but the timing seems off to me. And the fact that the band is in the middle of heavy promotion of the record and gearing up for the tour -- I just don't get why JB would do this on his own... UNLESS it's like the Inside the Actor's Studio thing and the rest of the band is there even though they're branding it as just Jon.

In any event, following AMEX on Twitter can't be all that bad, and you can always unfollow afterwards :)
