How to Win Friends and Influence People? Learn Improv
This sounds like such a good time for adventurous souls who want to develop skills that are completely new and different to most of us. Do you know someone who wants to play but doesn’t know how? Do you have a friend who weeps uncontrollably because they have lost the ability to laugh and have [...]

You know I really did enjoy the book “The Jane Austen Book Club” more than I remember liking any actual Jane Austen book. Of course that could be because all the Austen reading I’ve ever done occured when I was a surly teenager. Perhaps I should give Austen another try this summer. Inside the Visitors’ [...]

28. June 2010
I feel that I’ve been deprived all these years because nobody told me about the existence of Nuts N Stuff. A dear friend took me there last week and my little baking heart was in heaven. All those ingredients! In whatever quantity I want to buy. Pitted dates! Crystalized ginger! Superfine sugar! Blue Corn Meal! [...]

25. June 2010
By Ashlee Clark It’s hard being a Kentuckian sometimes. For many folks outside of the Bluegrass State, we are just a bunch of hillbillies. But I’ll gladly adopt the moniker as my own if that gives me access to Appalachian meals like the ones served at Hillbilly Tea. I drive by the restaurant about twice [...]

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.
