Hubble Coming to the Louisville Science Center IMAX
I’m not much of a space person. I never dreamed of being an astronaut when I was a kid and I think rich people who pay tons of money to someday go on a space flight are a little silly. That being said even I’m kind of geeked about the Hubble IMAX film that’s opening [...]

Continue reading...Scientific Proofs: Local perspectives on health care reform
13. November 2009
When you are pair-bonded with a doctor you can’t help but be inundated with medicine talk, insurance talk, health care talk in general and of course health care reform talk. You simply can’t get away from it. However, if you are not pair-bonded with a doctor I would suspect that health care reform is one [...]

You Know We So Own the Hand Transplant Right?
30. January 2009
Since I’m in a very foul mood about the state of things in Louisville at the moment I thought I’d write about something positive and happy making. Something that reminds me how much I love this city and all the cool things we do here.
On Monday I went to the press conference celebrating the [...]

29. September 2008
Fresh on the heels of IdeaFestival comes the Nanotechnology Symposium: Advances in Nanotechnology and Applications at Sullivan University this weekend October 3-4, 2008.

Do I want to receive PR or Marketing pitches?
Yes.
Types of Pitches
I enjoy receiving press releases, email notices 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 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.
