i love getting personal comments and messages.
i don't like when personal messages turn out to be promotional mass mailings. that makes me want to delete somebody. but i like you. so use the bulletin boards for promo not my inbox.
Marga!!!!!!!! It was GREAT to see you in SF and thanks for being at our big WORLD PREMIERE. We wish we were still in town so we could come to your show tomorrow night, but we will definitely catch you in LA in July!! You're THE BEST, lady!! xoxoxo Michelle & Barbara
Dear Marga, when will you come see our new theater in The Bronx? How about this weekend? If you're not all tied up with TeatroStageFest, come see our newest Asunción Playwrights Project workshop production this Thursday, Friday, and Saturday! The play is GOD'S CREATURES by Chuy Sánchez and it's really sharp fun. Get the details on our myspace page, at www.pregones.org, or call us at 718-585-1202. Y como decimos en el teatro, ¡mucha mierda!

Marga, thanks so much for making the launch of Tingel Tangel Club San Francisco such a success! Can't wait to have you in the mix as emcee. Look forward to seeing you at the next event on April 30 with Kenny Mellman and Bridget Everett.
