“Strengthening U.S. Security in a New Era” Discussion at LFPL
I must have missed the announcement on the beginning of this series since they say this event is a continuation. Even if we didn’t catch the beginning of the series I think this specific event is a good one. On Wednesday, April 8, 2009, the World Affairs Council of Kentucky/Southern Indiana and Louisville Free Public [...]

20. March 2009
I’m pretty sure there are two kinds of people in the world. Those who are excited by the title of this post and the rest of us who don’t even understand it. Fibonacci? Um? Bueller? The Fibonacci number sequence has intrigued scholars for centuries as it occurs in art, nature, music and magic. A professor [...]

LGDA and the Hite Art Institute are bring Joel Katz to town tomorrow night for a lecture. The title of his lecture is “Design for Understanding.” I’m ruminating on what that means. Unfortunately I’ve already got plans for tomorrow night so I’m not going to be able to make it to this. I hope some [...]

Dude. Lecture committees at UofL really, really like to be wordy when naming their lectures series. Seriously wordy. Latest evidence: “The Boehl Distinguished Lecture Series in Land Use Policy.” Despite wordy name they’re bringing in a cool speaker to talk about a really important topic for Louisville. Tim Beatley, the Teresa Heinz Professor of Sustainable [...]

Though the title of this lecture is quite a jumble: “UofL Morgan Lecture Series: Jamie Horowitz: Eating Architecture 7 Eating Local on College Campuses” the actual content sounds exceptionally interesting. Observing what, where, and how people eat–a window into any culture–opens a vantage point on the culture of higher education and the history of campus [...]

One of the saddest thing about the recent NPR cutbacks was the cancellation of News and Notes. In happier news the host of that show, Farai Chideya, is coming to town. National Public Radio program host and author Farai Chideya will talk about “The Color of Our Future: Race and the Media” and sign “The [...]

For people smarter and more educated than I am about art history I’m betting this lecture will be really interesting. James J Bloom is an Assistant Professor of History of Art at Vanderbilt University who specializes in early modern Northern European art (1400-1700). His paper, “Animated Bodies: The Performance of Images at the Burgundian Court,” [...]

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.
