Let me say publicly that I’m blessed to have some amazing people in my life who love me and take care of me. I love and appreciate those people more than I can say. I tell you that because having drinks with one of those people whom I adore so much led me to Jack’s [...]

I’ve yet to make it out to one of these with my little dog. Maybe this will be the one I actually make it to. And just because I can I’m throwing in a gratuitous photograph of my little dog with her beloved squeaky ball for all of you to enjoy with this entry. Tuesday [...]

B wanted me to tell you all that she absolutely loves the veggie sandwich at the new BoomBozz Taphouse at the corner of Bardstown Road and Eastern Parkway. We’ve been there a couple times since it opened (sitting on the lovely patio and people watching both times) and she has eaten the veggie sandwich each [...]

Are there four better words in the English language than “John Hughes Double Feature?” Probably not to a child of the 1980s. Yes, I am that old. I tried to describe my excitement over this double feature to my 19 year old sister this weekend and she gave me heart palpitations when she said she’s [...]

I’m not terribly familiar with any of these artists but I’m going to go out on a limb and say this is a show worth checking out down at Derby City Espresso this weekend. There will be art by Beech Designs, Laura Fauna, Withering Elm Jewelry, Mary Bradley and more and there will be music [...]

In some ways May has flown right by, in others it seems like the longest month in recent memory, I wasn’t even sure it was almost over until I got reminded that the Frankfort Avenue Trolley Hop is this Friday. Frankfort Avenue Trolley Hop is the last Friday of the month so that confirms it: [...]

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.
