Tickling Ivories & Brushing Pearly Whites

As a part of my ongoing quest to grow the photography business, my photo partner Sandi and I have been going to networking meetings in Royal Oak, various events run by the Chamber of Commerce intended to allow small business owners to meet up and exchange ideas and referrals.

This morning's meeting was at a recording studio called "Detroit School of Rock", quite an impressive place full of instruments and mixing boards and digital recording hardware, things that looked too fragile and expensive to have people drinking coffee over, as the nervous expression on the face of the owner often revealed.

As is usual in these events, I saw my dentist there. This guy has more network than NBC. He shows up at every occasion I find myself at with more than three people. I would think he was stalking me but I know he is very involved in community activities. He "customer mines" these things and does very well with it. I need to learn from him. He's a master.
