Bob, I've encountered a lot of misconceptions about contra dance when I've invited people individually, and I imagine that's what's at work here.
I'd ask the MetroMix editor if he/she could explain exactly what about your listing was not appropriate for 20-34-year-olds. It may be that a change in wording would help, or it may be purely the perceptions and prejudices of the editor that is to blame. --Jerome On Sun, Sep 20, 2009 at 8:53 AM, <[email protected]> wrote: > I was a bit frustrated by a reply I received from a MetroMix editor, > regarding the advertising of > Rochester NY's Weekly Thursday Contra. > > "I received your note and wanted to tell you that we excluded your listing > feeling that it's not appropriate for our target demo of 20-34." > > Has anyone experienced this sort of rebuff?
