 AOL
Says: Whooooooa -
There's Way Too Much To-Do!
Last week (and I suppose in
several other weeks, too,
but someone just brought it
to my attention), AOL said:
"Hold up! Wait a
minute! There's way
too much
To-Do
in that
To-DosLetter
- we cain't han'lit!!!
We can only send this out as
a .zip file!" Well,
that could be kinda scary
and frustrating to receive,
as one Sophisticate let me
know, in no uncertain terms:
"I
COULD NOT OPEN THIS FILE -
NOTHING WORKED. PLEASE
ADVISE IF YOU EXPECT ME TO
CONTINUE SUBSCRIBING."
After some troubleshooting,
internet searching, I
discovered that AOL could
not handle the sheer
volume of
festivals, live music,
theater, film, cooking
classes, networking, black
tie, community and many
other diverse
To-Dos!
The enticing descriptions,
the reviews, the compelling
images . . . and so
many
To-Dos - and
that doesn't even include
the "booty" parties!!!
Well, perhaps you're a bit
overwhelmed, too. (I
know I am when
I have to put these
To-DosLetters
together!). In
solidarity with the 10% of
Sophisticates who use AOL
(and in support of me
getting some sleep (or
play!) on Wednesday nights),
this and future
To-DosLetters
will only contain headline
listings of upcoming
To-Dos, with
photos of some featured
event sprinkled in here and
there. Each headline
link will lead to detailed
information about the
To-Do. If
you want to see the images
with a summary listing of
To-Dos as you're
accustomed to seeing, just
click on any of the "To-Do"
links that I've sprinkled
liberally throughout this
message!
Congratulations to Shakti,
winner of FOUR
weekend passes to the
African Festival of the Arts,
coming up from September 3 -
6, 2010!
Congratulations also go out
to LorRenne, winner of a
pair of tickets to
Greenetree Productions'
Blues for an Alabama Sky!
The show opens this Friday -
be on the lookout for our
review!
Do not give up on the good
weather - there is still
plenty To-Do!
SummerDance continues
through Sunday; Taste of
Greece is this weekend, as
is the Bucktown Arts Fest,
Jazz In the Alley and
DuSable Museum's Yanga Fest
(f/k/a Arts & Crafts
Festival); and The Indie
Designer Mart continues.
Whatever you decide
To-Do, make it a
fabulous weekend!
Stephanie!

Our listings will
continuously be updated as
schedule information is made
available. Instead
of going to multiple sites
trying to find information
about summer events, you can
find all the To-Dos
in one spot! And, instead
of being pissed because you
forgot all about the House
Music Reunion Picnic or
Pearl Fest, you can take
advantage of our stellar
calendar technology and
schedule text or e-mail
reminders for the To-Dos you want to
attend. And, instead of
being clueless about what To-Do with your
out-of-town visitors, you
can check off the boxes next
to the To-Dos
that might interest your
guests and plan your time
the easy way!
