You may have heard about that fundraiser/blograiser we, along with the biggest host committee ever assembled (it seems), are putting together for Craig Johnson this Thursday. Thing is, we really want you to go, and so does the candidate. Here, if you don't believe us, maybe you'll believe him.

The event is happening this Thursday, 6 PM at Prey on 4 West 22nd Street. We're expecting Eliot Spitzer, David Paterson, and roughly between half and a third of the Senate Democrats. Tickets start at $50 and go all the way to $8,500. Want tickets? Sure, get them here.

It'll be fun. Won't you join us?
