MORE "HERE & THERE" PART II - BLOG EDITION

===============
MORE "HERE & THERE" PART II
===============
Almost every day I get one or more email invitations (usually automated ones) from folks who would like me to "follow them" on Facebook or some other social networking website/system. Its my impression that, when you sign up for one of these networks, if you click the wrong button they steal your mailing list and send out invitations to everyone listed. With 2700+ subscribers, I am on a lot of mailing lists, and when the invites come, they require an RSVP - which, if you ignore it, means another notice a few weeks later, etc. I hate to send a note to anyone that "I don't want to be their friend" - its just that I don't want to be on these networks and subject myself to any more e-mail than I currently get. So, please excuse if I ignore your "auto-invites" - I'm on twitter and that's plenty of "social networking" for me. Follow me there - http://twitter.com/cabarethotline - and I'll follow you (and re-tweet your important "cabaret" related tweets.

A big thank you to Maryann Lopinto for putting together the Claiborne Cary obit for us (part at the top of this newsletter and the rest later today on the website). Unfortunately, much of Ms. Cary's career was "before internet" and there is very little available on line.

And that's just about the way it was. I still have a lot more to tell you about but we've run out of space so the rest will have to wait until Mondays's issue. MEMBERS ONLY newsletter goes out on Saturday, with news, discounts and deals especially for members.
