AWG The fine-print: This an occasional e-mail newsletter with the expressed purpose of letting folks know about specific upcoming arts events in the Atlanta area. Too many times I've talked to people about an incredible arts event I had seen and been told "I wish I had heard about that!" The Journal-Constitution and Creative Loafing both do their best, but much slips through the cracks or gets lost in the shuffle, so I intend this newsletter to try and take up the slack. The listings I send out are "curated" - so to speak. It is NOT my intention to be all-inclusive. I focus on things that tend to fit into a certain aesthetic. I focus on cutting-edge work that tends to push genres into new directions... dance, theater, music, performance art, film, etc. This list is ONLY used to promote artistic events such as I've described above. It's unlikely you will ever receive more than one or two e-mailings a month from me. Here are a couple of handy instructions for you: If you want to get OFF of the list, for whatever reason, then send an email FROM THE ACCOUNT YOU WANT DELETED to gnosis-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx and put "unsubscribe" (without the quotes) in the Subject line of the email. That's all you have to do. If you put anything else in the subject line, you won't be removed! Likewise, if you want to get ON the list (from a different address perhaps, since you obviously are already ON the list!) send an email to gnosis-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx and put "subscribe" (without the quotes) in the Subject line. Pretty simple! You may want to save these instructions... If you have an event you want me to announce, then send the information to gnosis-arts@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx and I'll see what I can do... but remember, I generally don't announce traditional sorts of theater/music/arts/dance events. I try to limit these announcements to avant-garde or cutting edge sorts of things. Also, remember that I do this as a not-for-profit sideline, so I might not be able to get around to everything in a timely manner. You may be wondering how you got on the Gnosis list. It could be that you are already on the Gnosis email list from attending one of our productions, or you might be on the email list for my band Z-Axis. Or you might be on the email list of one of my friends or artistic associates. A lot of you were referred to me by someone else on the list. Or finally, in the early days of this list, I may have gotten your address from the cc field of e-mailings from lists I am on... yeah I know I shouldn't have done that, and I have since refrained from that practice, but my intentions were altruistic and non-commercial... and if you're bothered that I got your address that way, I apologize and I'll be happy to delete you! In fact, by now, most folks whose address I got from cc fields have probably been deleted anyway!
