i fucking LOVE mailing lists. you get vip information from the stuff you really care about, in a non-intrusive format, no ads, no scrolling, no bullshit. artists, labels, venues, educational centers, galleries, film centers, art collectives, clothing brands. anything you want to support/attend/take part of probably has a mailing list, i just look at my "promotions" tab in gmail once a day to glance over anything that could be interesting.
PRO TIP: unsubscribe from all of the things you don't care about, e.g. the uniqlo newsletter from that one time you bought some heattech undergarments and sold your soul (used your email) for a 10% discount.
