I had a rather surreal week last week. I know that this is an election year, but I was still surprised to open a letter from Peter Lawson Jones congratulating me on my art work in the online show for Red Dot Gallery. It was nice and complimentary, and had no mention of politics or fundraising-unlike the 15 other postcard i received in the mail that day! Then I got a call from Congressman Boccieri. He was inviting me personally to attend an event at the View Nightclub. It is a fundraiser, but still I am left wondering how he came by my name and phone number? Still, I had a very good conversation with him about the need to repair our crumbling infrastructure. We also discussed the cost of electricity in our state, how we have received very little funding from the federal government for our infrastructure, the smart grid, and a several other topics. I found the Congressman informed and intelligent-which can be hard to find in a politician! I am sure that his guest will be just as informed. If you are interested in helping out his campaign, here is the event details:
