so if you are a bellydancer in new england on my journal, chances are you just got an email from me about my mailinglist.

I actually went through every email account I have, found everything even remotely related to bellydance and tagged them and pasted all the addresses into gmail contact list and sent it out. but there's tribe people I don't have real mail for and probably there are still some drum circle paper lists and waivers which I need to cross check.



if you didn't get something like this just now, and want to be on my magic mailing list, let me know!

I only had 10 bouncebacks (out of a lot...) some people's handwriting is atrocious and I know I spelled things wrong.



if you are a bellydancer, not in new england, and you want to be on the list (some of you I left off since I figured you already hear about all the silly drum circles from me here anyway) let me know.

as an aside, I am open to suggestions for how people manage mailinglists. not so much how to do them, as I have that figured out and the main hurdle of moving everything from yahoo to gmail is done with (took a loooooong time) Now that the master list is all set up it's somewhat easier to make new, smaller ones. I've got more than one email address that people contact me on, tribe, lj, now ning, ive got pieces of paper which may or may not have made it onto my actual list... I have multiple emails for the same person. I have paypal email which aren't people's actual contact mail. probably i just contacted some really distant people but its almost easier to pick which ones ARENT on the list than which ones ARE. it feels like some big breach of nettiquette to email that to everyone, but I don't know how else to reconcile everything and its just been getting to be a huge pain in the neck to remember which list or tribe or whatever I posted my announcement on, tribe is always broken so I can't check...its silly. one too many networking sites! I personally hate getting spammed and I don't want to do it myself; maybe I should just stick to NEbellydance calendar for major events? on top of that, there are different categories of people, tribal, bellydance, other kinds of dance, drummers, random people interested in classes...just to make things complicated...



oh and i want my website to run movable type or something so people can get an rss feed of it.

no idea if thats possible.

kind of need help with that...
