Hello.... Anybody there?....

Does anybody have any thoughts on an on-line art calendar for Philly? My breakdown of what's available right now is that you have inLiquids email flyer (which I think is hard to read and favors inLiquid members), PhillyFunGuide.com and GoPhilly.org (they don't focus on the arts, their's too much info, and it's not geared towards a calendar), the Artblog is just reviews... what else is out there?
How about a site whos homepage is a calendar for the arts in Philly; Receptions, openings, lectures, workshops all show up immediately. Another button could link you to an "on-going events" page and all of the events would be accompanied by links to reviews (reviews by site contributors and links to the Artblog for example). This site could be known for its reviews... that's easy, because reviewers tend to be boring... like I'm boring right now – are you still reading! Well, God bless you – you're a believer! Together you and I will take on the art-info-void of this fair city and lead its' art patrons to the light of the now! What's happening now?! what did I almost miss! No! what did I not miss because I went to... let me see... www.ArtGizmoOnTheNetThatKnowsEverythingInAWayThatsAlmostCreepy.com! I need a job and I'm not getting one because I have a bad attitude about people who would call themselves my boss! I find intimidation tactics during an interview gaurantee success that I will control the interview but unfortunately not be employed. And who would employ me?! Employed to what. I'm unemployed – no one has set me out on a task! So here I am setting out on my own venture – my own journey to monetary gain. I'm in the hands of yours truelly now. As of this moment I officially declare myself: Self-employed! I'm a busy, busy man so if you'd like to contact me about any of your own ideas regarding www.ArtGiz......com I'll need to pencil you in for an appointment. Let's do lunch people!

I think you are on to something my friend. I always feel like my art viewing ventures are hit or miss. It would be especially nice to have images of the work on display, I tend to gravitate toward the work that catches my eye, and words don't always catch my eyes. I look forward to seeing where your self-employedness leads you, be well and prosper, and let me know if I can help you out in someway, KEITH.

This is more to Keith's point than to Matt's (laudible) ambition - you can post images here - it would be great to see what people are up to during the fall and spring as we work in relative isolation.
