Segal fundraiser this Thursday

There are legislative fundraisers, and then there are legislative fundraisers. Those of Representative David Segal, which have a bit of Mardi Gras, fall into the latter category, and he's got one this week.

Please Join Rep Segal for a night of music, fun and progressive politics this Thursday, May 8th, at Nick-a-Nee's in Providence's Jewelry District.

Here's part of my report from a previous event:

Interesting crowd last night for state Representative David Segal's (D-Providence) fundraiser at Nick-a-Nee's. Aside from assorted advocates (Matt Auten, Peter Asen), neighborhood activists (David Riley), artists (Bert Crenca, Mimo Riley) and scribes (Scott MacKay, yours truly), there was a strong showing from the Green-turned-Democrat's House colleagues, including good sports Republican Minority Leader Bob Watson and Minority Whip Nick Gorham. The Dems in the House included Speaker Bill Murphy, Majority Leader Gordon Fox, Tim Williamson, Art Handy, and Gus Silva (N4N arrived on the late side, so my apology for any omissions).

It was an inspired choice to have music provided by the excellent What Cheer Brigade
