I thought the rule was everyone was only allowed to complain about how an event meant to target downtown business people does not work for their schedule simply because they are not a downtown business person. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to catch new fish in a new pond shouldn’t be viewed as bad especially because if there was actually something wrong i would see something/say something. It was refreshing, not negative.

I'd be happy to spring for the table and then each of you remit the lesser cost per seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with trying to reel in some big business donors from local Tampa businesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
