The Unstable Barn Party
The Unstable Barn Party sounds like a Derby party after my own heart. First the name is just completely lovable. Second how can you not love a party that includes music from The Commonwealth, Woodrow on the Radio, D.J. Matt Anthony, & Sativa Gumbo visual, performance and installation art a costume contest and is a [...]

I doubt tickets are still available for this (they’re free and they started giving them away on April 17) but if there are this would be a very interesting lecture to attend. Architect Michael Graves, whose design of the Humana Building helped usher in the era of postmodernism, will deliver a public lecture in Louisville [...]

I saw the preview for Before The Music Dies and instantly was out of my mind excited to see it. So it bums me beyond belief that I won’t be in town Thursday April 26 to attend the screening of this film at The 930 Art Center. Bad luck and time is keeping me from [...]

WFPK’s Waterfront Wednesday has a very diverse and interesting lineup for this coming Wednesday’s show.

Do I want to receive PR or Marketing pitches?
Yes.
Types of Pitches
I enjoy receiving news and tips that help make Consuming Louisville even more useful to its audience. If you or one of your clients has something cool going on in Louisville I would love to hear about it.
Consuming Louisville primarily focuses on independent Louisville businesses, artists and events. This doesn't mean that I never write about chain restaurants or corporate events but I do so very infrequently. If you or your client is a national chain and you have a Louisville specific event going on (say a special for Derby) then by all means let me know about it. But if you have an event or special that is happening in every city your chain has a location in then I probably won't post about it.
Personal Responses
I receive many press releases and email notices. I cannot possibly respond to every single one of them. So while I may not personally respond I think we can have enough faith in the email system to assume that I received your message. Sending the same message to me multiple times just increases the likelihood that I'll start ignoring all messages from you instead of paying more attention.
Editorial Choices
I do not write about every press release or event notice I receive. I'm the sole writer on Consuming Louisville (except for occasional guest posts) and if I don't find think my audience would find something interesting or relevant I will not write about it. Just because you think I should write about something doesn't mean I will. If I have chosen not to write about something it is absolutely not up for debate.
I'm a Person, You're a Person
Emails that sound like press releases, press release attachments without actual email messages and other communication that could have just as easily been sent to and from a robot do not hold my attention. Since I'm a real person and you're a real person I'd encourage you to make our interaction person-to-person conversation instead of an email blast to a marketing list. I like people, I don't like email marketing blasts.
