Campaign invite of the day

Detroit expats are gathering Thursday in the Big Apple to raise campaign cash for Mayor Dave Bing, according to some messages floating around the Internet that landed in the City Hall Insider's in-box.

The fundraiser has set off some discussion on Facebook, with some such as "Cazzie" wondering why New Yorkers should "support someone as wealthy as Dave Bing???" and others saying the shindig is good excuse to party and spread some good Motown vibes.

Either way, the hootenany has perhaps the coolest campaign invitations the Insider has seen this season.
