I do not need a daily email from you telling me about your boring programs. I have gotten 6 emails in 10 days! If I need to know what is at the center I will look in the paper or read one of the dozens of expensive glossy mailings you send me.Leave me alone! I am not going to another show until the Meningitis and Swine Flu horror show is over. And, you might think about your programming if you have to bother people so much.
Adrienne Arsht can you help? I noticed you were at a Heat game Monday, go to your Performing Arts Center and talk to them for me...please!

I do not work for the Center but I'm a patron and a volunteer. First, I would like to thank Adrianne Arsht for her support of the Center and demonstrating that one can enjoy both sports and the arts. Second, emails are easy to delete and one can always request to unsubscribe. As a volunteer usher,even with all the advertisements, I was very surprised to hear how many people still say they were not aware of certain performances, Third - what kind of programming would you recommend?- it seems to be pretty diverse. Fourth, thank you for Eye on Miami, it is one of the first sites I visit every morning. The information specially about County and State politics is very intelligent and revealing. It has prompted many of my friends to become involved.
I get the shiny paper, too.
Does shiny paper make us want to run over and buy tickets?
Actually, I think the marketing pieces are so busy with graphics and information you are overwhelmed trying to read them.
Sometimes simple works.
Thanks asbrown1961 for your thoughtful answer. I have looked at the new jazz line-up and couldn't find one show I was interested in...I am on a quest to understand jazz. I want to see some better groups for the big bucks being charged. I saw some performers mentioned in the next lineup for about $20 elsewhere (U of M for example). I spent $360 for 4 tickets to see Chick Correa. Steep for a show I didn't actually enjoy.
I did enjoy Sonny Rollins but I was not that impressed with the Wynton Marsalis show. He didn't seem into it for some reason.
I want to see legends for big bucks.
Also 1961, one email every two weeks is totally enough. Or once a month. They are forcing me to cut off my nose to spite my face -- have no news or too much news.
I get hundreds of emails a day. Deleting takes time. I have 5 email accounts to look at.
Don't schedule events the same night as Heat basketball or the Circus. The traffic is horrific.
This is the information age. Send your entertainment e-mails to a different account and deal with it when you have the time. Come on now, it isn't that hard to do. It is just that you want to be so well informed about so much. Perhaps you should get a social coordinator? Ha, ha, ha!
I am still pissed the PAC Center cost over $1 bil and we and our children will be paying for this stupidity for decades. (Oh and it was built with no parking...)
Now the local Omni Redevelopment Authority is forced to divert over $6 mil per year from its goal of trying to help new businesses to instead cover the massive operating losses from the Arscht PAC Center. Money is diverted to prop up that silly PAC Center. Disgusting.
yuk. yuk. Till you have walked in my shoes...
don't tell me how to manage -- I NEVER have the time.
It is Saturday and I am writing on this stupid blog since 8:00 am. I have a job and the blog also is a big job. I delete at least a few hundred emails a day and I have to read each subject line (it takes me time I shouldn't have to waste). I have two blog accounts, my own, and my work account. it is a colossal waste of time getting too many emails about nada.
I agree that those emails may seem excessive, especially for individuals that know where to find information when needed. You might want to send the Center an email asking them not to send you promotional emails or maybe just the ones for jazz, although if Ms. Arsht knows who you are maybe she will take care of it for you. Nevertheless, I know many individuals that like the reminder emails especially the ones that tell them of offers for free events or 2 for 1 tickets. Anyway, a lot of us depend on your blog to provide the behind the scene information that is not readily available from the media and we realize how much time it takes to keep it up. Therefore I will make sure that the Center hears about your concerns and the other comments. I know that the new President, John Richard, has many ideas about programming and customer service is a No.1 concern. Keep on writing!
I never get the 2 for 1 or free events. But then I don't even open them anymore. Thank you for offering to bring it to their attention asbrown. That is most kind of you.
