Do It Today: Speed Networking, Jason Ricci & New Blood
July 7, 2009 at 12:00 am by Franki WeddingtonToday you can make
up for the long holiday weekend by forging a few new business connections. Get ahead in the rat race at the Tampa Bay Beaches Chamber of Commerce Speed Networking Breakfast. This meet and greet with local businesspeople is an opportunity to grow your business, give away those business cards you spent so much moolah on and get your name out, and consists of ten, five-minute-long meetings over coffee and strudel. It’s like speed dating, but less awkward and with better long-term results. 8:30-9:30 a.m. Tues., July 7, Undertow Beach Bar, 3850 Gulf Blvd., St. Pete Beach, $5, free TBBCoC members, tampabaybeaches.com
Nashville-based Ricci of Jason Ricci & New Blood deftly combines the spirit of the blues with a more modernist sensibility that involves jam-rock, R&B and even punk. He’s a solid singer, but makes more of a mark with his wild-eyed harmonica work. (Pictured: Jason Ricci.
