Late last night - (technically today at about two in the morning) after all of the family members emptied out of our home and the table was cleared and dishes and glasses put away, my boyfriend convinced me to start a new mailing list.
I've honestly never had a proper mailing list. Can you believe that? I had just relied on the power of myspace bulletin board posts and facebook event invites. They work to an extent, but nothing beats the power of a good mass email. Well...sometimes.
While I don't usually mind a mass email inviting me to shows or inviting me to birthdays, some people find them impersonal and annoying. I think that people's greatest hangups with mass emails can be attributed to the fact that sometimes the sender forgets to BCC: everyone, thereby making their email address vulnerable to email address poachers who want to add addresses to their own mailing lists.
It's just not right, I tell you. That's why I thought that it would be a good idea to open up an official mailing list of my own! If anything, I need to promote myself more. Why am I so shy of inviting people to see shows? I was booked to do another Made-Up Musical this Friday so I'm going to make use of this list and spread the good word!
On a side note, I had a little bit of on-camera time this evening for the 2008 Edition of Pizza Month. That's right, October is "National Pizza Month!" Every year for the past 7 years, my boyfriend has celebrated National Pizza Month by eating at least one slice of pizza a day at 31 different places with at least one other person. He documents all of his findings in his blog - or video log, which he just started up last year. It's pretty cool!
I had the honor of attending the first Pizza Day of 2008 at DeLorenzo's in Trenton, NJ. We made an extra special stop in Trenton on our way back to New York from Philly. Some might say that we were crazy to go to all this trouble for a stop at a Pizza Parlor - as a matter of fact, there are two DeLorenzo's in Trenton but the first one we went to on Hudson Street was closed :-( - but it's all for the good of Pizza Month!

L'Shanah Tova and so forth. It will be a great New Year. As for that boyfriend of yours, he is a major mover of people making lists, blogs, resolutions, and so forth. Thanks for liking him.
