What in the name of Yentl is going on here?

I get a lot of e-mails about Atlanta events. Thrashers games, Hawks games, Braves games, street fair, grand openings, and so on. It's good to hear about new things.

Normally.

Imagine my surprise when I get a note from Philips Arena, bestowing upon me the opportunity for the following new event:

Your Exclusive Barbra Streisand Pre-sale!

Enjoy the ultimate Barbra Streisand Experience!
By special arrangement with CPI, the promoters of the Barbra Streisand 2006 Concert Tour,
is pleased to offer you the opportunity to purchasePremium Tickets and Exclusive VIP packages in advance of the public on sale.

Escapade VIP Party FEATURES: TOP PRICED TICKET, FABULOUS PRESHOW, FULLY CATERED DINNER PARTY IN OUR HEADLINES BAR AND GRILL, HIGH END EXCLUSIVE MERCHANDISE ITEM, VIP OR LIMO PARKING, SOUVENIR PROGRAM, COLLECTIBLE LAMINATE. PRIVATE MERCHANDISE BOOTH

I'm not sure how scared I should be - and I really, really hope this is an error. I don't need to be getting special offers on DVD's of The Prince of Tides or Funny Girl.

Everyone else gets Viagra, Nigeria, and Rolex spam....I get Barbra Streisand. I'd rather get thirty e-mails a day about cheap drugs.

I hope this is the last time I ever have to post about something like this. But it's just too odd NOT to post about. Talk about targeting the wrong demographic!

Maybe I should look at going to Ozzfest or Warped after all to repair my bruised ego.
