Two other events tonight, which seem like they’d maybe have a big overlap in attendees if they weren’t being held at the exact same time in two different parts of town:
Providence Monthly is hosting a fundraiser at the Convention Center as part of the Fine Furnishings Show that’s going on there right now. There’s food and schmoozing and, you know, hopefully wine. And fine furnishings, I guess, which means maybe you can ogle fainting sofas while you’re eating food from El Rancho Grande. Tickets are twenty-five smackeroos, which seems excessive, but the proceeds all go to New Urban Arts, which means it’s not excessive. That starts at 6.
Also at 6, there’s a networking/socializing/schmoozing event at the Everyman (on Iron Horse Way, under the garish ALCO neon) for members of the arts community. That one’s not raising money for anything, it’s just a chance for people to hang out and, I don’t know, do whatever it is people do at networking events. (In my case, that generally means hovering over the food table, not speaking to anyone, and worrying that I’m underdressed.) But, hey, half-price appetizers!

Thanks for spreading the word, Matt. But $25 excessive? Man, you’re getting food from 8 different restaurants, plus wine, plus music, plus the chance to…uh…ogle fainting sofas, I guess. Yeah.

Well, I’m a cheapskate. Or maybe just a brokeskate?
