This invitation arrived on my doorstep on Saturday, April 2.
I’ve had a few encounters with Mayor Clay since moving to Gary in 2008:

– speaking at a press conference with Jesse Jackson before Gary’s Michael Jackson memorial in July 2009: www.flickr.com/photos/prettydelicious/3710487346/
I even got video of him later that day addressing the crowd of MJ fans:

And I saw him several weeks ago at the Sojourner Truth House (amazing place, photo here), where I stood so close to him that I could see he was wearing a very thin layer of synthetic hair over his head (photo here).
I heard rumors that Mayor Clay might have cancer, but on Saturday, April 2, I received this invitation to come to a house just down the street from my own. I was looking forward to meeting and greeting Mayor Clay before deciding on whom to vote for in the May 3rd primary (which, in a city as democratic as Gary, might as well be the general election).
I had considered running for mayor myself, mostly on the platform of a name change, which would include re-branding the city and creating a new logo, something that I hoped would help the city shake the unsavory associations its name mostly seems to conjure up these days. I would let the people decide in a citywide vote what our new name would be, but my personal preference is Thriller.
Thriller, Indiana.
