On September 8, 2008, Palin was invited to a barbecue [ http://documents.latimes.com/sarah-palin-emails-sept-17-23-2008/#document/p47 ] at record executive Alexis Rivera's Los Angeles home "to celebrate Preston surpassing 10,000 friends on MySpace. The Strange Boys are playing... so tip the kids, and bring beef, tequila, and condoms." What? The Strange Boys opened for Spoon last year at Radio City Music Hall. I don't think Sarah Palin likes them!
We reached out to Rivera today, who runs Echo Park Records [ http://www.echoparkrecords.com/ ]. He explains: "Haha this shit is hilarious. I always use a dummy e-mail address in the to line of party invites (and BCC everyone else). I had no idea it was her real address. Real address but to a dummy I guess?"
Sarah Palin emails: The highlights June 10, 2011 4:37 PM [...] On August 15, 2008, Palin exchanged a series of emails with her aides about her travel plans for the Republican National Convention in Minnesota. Palin had not yet been picked as Sen. John McCain's running mate and wants to know what she would miss if she left the convention on September 5th. The convention ran from September 1-4.

She added that Obama "Stole out (sic) Energy Rebate $1000 check idea, stole our TC-Alaska gasline talking I points, etc. So we need to take advantage of this a write a statement saying he's right on." A staffer responded to Gov. Palin, saying they had hoped and expected Obama to "say something positive" about some of the work the state legislature had accomplished on Alaska's oil production. Obama didn't, even though some "folks" in Alaska had been working with the Obama campaign. Palin's response: "He did say 'yay' to our gasoline. Pretty cool. Wrong candidate."
