We’ve discussed how I’m not a beer drinker, thus my input on this event probably wouldn’t be helpful at all. So I’ll just directly quote the press release instead. Belgium displays unparalleled diversity of flavor and color in its native beer styles, and on Tuesday, March 4, Corbett’s “An American Place” presents a dinner to [...]

I don’t guess the McCain campaign needs any grassroots organizing since he’s pretty much got the Republican nomination in the bag but the Democratic primary season is still in full swing. I don’t get a lot of info about political organizing or meetups so I’m pretty sure this is the first time I’ve written about [...]

Whoever is in charge of art direction for The Late Seating is doing a kick ass job. Last month they had the Matt Dobson poster that was super cool and this month it’s the Made in Louisville design you see here. I don’t know you are but I’m digging your art direction. Now, on to [...]

LEO’s blog General Sense of Outrage is full indeed of righteous outrage today over Velocity calling the weekly out, as the kids say. I’m not going to recap the fight for you, you can read it yourself. I’m just going to quote the final paragraph because quoting snarky paragraphs that are well written is fun. [...]

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.
