President Barack Obama speaks to supporters at the Masonic Center in San Francisco on Wednesday, April 20, 2011

So who paid $35,800 to dine with President Obama Wednesday night? According to TechCrunch, the guest list included tech bigwigs Drew Houston, CEO of Dropbox, Jeremy Stoppelman, CEO of Yelp, Marissa Mayer, VP at Google, Craig Newmark of Craigslist, Jonathan Kaplan, creator of the late Flip cam, Ron Conway, angel investor, and Frank Quattrone, investment banker.

About 60 people attended the fundraiser at the San Francisco home of Salesforce.com CEO Marc Beniioff.  A more complete guest list can be found here, thanks to some stealthy rubberneckers who took photos of the list when guests were arriving.

As The Bay Citizen reported, Benioff is registered to vote as "decline to state," voted in just three of the last seven elections in which he was eligible to do so, and donated money to Republican Carly Fiorina's failed U.S. Senate bid. 

According to the press pool report, Stevie Wonder warmed up the crowd for the president, who revealed that he used to pretend that he was Stevie Wonder when he was 10-years-old.

When President Obama took the mic at 7:30 p.m. he quipped: "I know all of you wish Stevie would keep on playing." He related that "Talking Book" was the first album he'd ever bought with his own money. Wearing headphones, "I would sit in my room and pretend I was Stevie Wonder," to the horror of his grandparents who had to listen to his singing.

The event took place after Obama's town hall meeting at Facebook and before another fundraiser on Nob Hill.
