Mix & Mingle Event at Aloft Hotel (Syracuse Inner Harbor)

Building Culture by the Water (Syracuse Inner Harbor):  Attorney Lanessa Owens (left) and Publisher Victoria Coit were among the organizers for the Minority Professionals Networking event at the Aloft Hotel.

Shout out to the organizers of last night’s Mix & Mingle event at the new Aloft Hotel at the Inner Harbor. We saw some familiar faces among the fashionable crowd. The after-work event was coordinated by Cuse Culture Magazine, UMEA and the William H. Johnson Bar Association of CNY. Hopefully in the future they can also charter a boat for a harbor/lake cruise.

Frank Malfitano and Joanie Mahoney: Building Consensus

Frank Malfitano and Joanie Mahoney: Building Consensus

This week we heard rumors that The Syracuse Jazz Fest may have to move to the Lakeview Amphitheater; we also heard if it did not move, funding may be withheld. Well, Jazz Fest Producer Frank Malfitano and Onondaga County Executive Joanie Mahoney appeared at a press conference this afternoon to set the record straight. Their mutual admiration was evident from the start, and if this kind of cooperation is wrong, none of us should wanna be right.

To hear a clip of the press conference, including Malfitano’s comments on why he chooses to keep Jazz Fest on Onondaga Hill (for now), and what the college means to him, click the sound file.

The event, which was held at the historic Second Olivet Missionary Baptist Church, was attended by politicians, local musicians, concerned concert goers, and members of the media.
