Monday, February 2nd is GROUNDHOG DAY (at least here in the USA) and I have my fingers crossed that the little critter will emerge from his den in bright sunlight and thus signal an end to this horrible winter (Al Gore, why did you make us believe there was such a thing as "Global Warming"? - I gave my down jacket to the Salvation Army!).
To celebrate Groundhog Day, the CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE issue on Monday will try to include a roundup all the show news for Valentine's Day (I haven't figured out exactly what the connection is). So if you have a cabaret event for Saturday, February 14th, and haven't sent me a press release yet, please send it in before Saturday night. And, please, please don't send, instead of a press release, one of those e-mails with all those annoying html links (with multi-columns, embedded photos, distracting backgrounds, etc.) Do not send simply a .jpg of your post card. Do not send me one of those "e-vite" things that require us to "click to open" and lead to a web page somewhere. I never open them! REMEMBER: A FLIER IS NOT A PRESS RELEASE!
And while we're on the subject of press releases, starting on Monday I will also be adding cabaret news items for events occurring in March to the MARCH IS CABARET MONTH website . I will include items on that website even before they appear on our own CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE website.
Please do your part for our MARCH IS CABARET MONTH promotion by simply adding the "tag" MARCH IS CABARET MONTH to any press releases and/or invitations you send out for shows in March and include the http://www.MarchIsCabaretMonth.com/ link if possible. And if you have a website, there are logos you can download and add with this link to your website - it would really be appreciated.
