Email Blast. WOAH! STOP!

Seriously, my inbox is fulllll!!! ouch.

Currently, I have recieved over 500 emails asking whether people actually read the X96 email blast, or just delete it.  Lemme tell ya a couple of things, and then I’ll tell you what I learned from y’all.  First:  This was not a plea for persoanl attention! (I get that in therapy) When our promotions director asked me at the last minute to write a little ‘message’ to everyone...i was miffed.  I’ve been really busy lately trying to get The Geek Show podcast up and going (more on this soon), so when she asked I just thought ‘What a waste of time!  No one reads the damn thing anyway!’.  So, thats what I wrote about. I certainly dont read advertising email from companys, and I am just like you guys...well...MOST of you...so i assumed you just sent us to the spam file.  Well, now that I know you read it, I shall give it respect and loving care.  Second: The comment I got the most was ‘I didnt know whe should/could respond.’ Well, I didnt mean you HAVE to email back, I was just curious IF they were being read AT ALL because....well...see above. 
I will not be able to respond to all of you. Sorry.  Dont take that persoanlly, I am just a lazy man. Heres what I have learned.  Most of you just scan the headlines for concert info.  As I suspected, they are not read in their entirety...and why would you?  Some have favorite subjects and shows, and thats what you scan for.  Alot of you say that the email blast looks jumbled and is hard to read.  I agree.  Some want more graphics, I’ll pass it along.  The strange stuff I learned?  Alot of you hate horror movies.  (?!) And alot of you felt it important I know that you dont drink. (?!) Okay!  Sorry!  Those who did not feel like scolding me for that, really want my drink recipes.  I will blog some in the future so that I dont taint the non drinkers mail box.
Thank you all for the rapid response!  Most of all, thanks for letting me know its not in vain.  AND, thanks for letting ME listen.
More Toy Room on the way, and coming soon...drinky!
