I have never “unsubscribed” to anyone’s email lists. I honestly get emails from Bojesse and have yet to spend the three seconds to simply remove myself from said list. Matt Colon’s daily emails about events I will never attend, do not phase me, dumb Postal Service Princess Bride quotes and all. I let them fill up by Blackberry. I have ended up on lists from some kid named Jeff Duke and some kid that I think may be doing parties with Aaron Castle whom I have never met. I have received Dim Mak emails since the beginning of time regarding parties I worked at and was “aware†who was DJing. These actually used to be fairly entertaining when Steve had the time to alert us to things in all caps and describing the most uninteresting events as “soooo good.†They have gotten boring since the task has been delegated to one of his hundreds of interns. Still I receive them willingly.
Some of the more eager mass emailers are aware I have two email addresses, one at cinespace and one at hotmail. What many of them seem to somehow idiotically be unaware of is that they go to the same place. That place is my Blackberry. So when they email me five separate things saying the exact same thing, I am fortunate enough to receive ten emails.
Today I unsubscribed for the first time to a party called Paper Street in Philadelphia. The party is reminiscent of Cinespace three years ago. Their party is once a week. They send approximately 3-5 emails a day, regarding their one party. Yes, they are one of the clever ones who are somehow aware of both my email accounts.
When “unsubscribing,†I was asked to include a reason for my distaste in their content. I simply stated, “You email me 400 times a day.â€
I will probably have to “unsubscribe†again in five minutes to remove my other email account. I plan on listing that complaint as “Your party sucks.â€
