I got invited this week to the ArtsBoston office to participate in a blogger brainstorm session for their new site, and I have to tell you, it's pretty awesome. When I'm looking for a deal on food, I go to HubEats (here) and now when I'm looking for info on any sort of cultural, musical, theater, etc event I'm going to be heading to the ArtsBoston site.You probably already know ArtsBoston for our BosTix 1/2 price ticketing programs (both online and at the BosTix booths in Copley Square and at Fanueil Hall). The 1/2 price ticketing programs will continue at http://www.bostix.org and we’re also launching a new artsboston.org web site which will be a comprehensive online calendar for theatre, music, film, dance, and visual arts for Greater Boston.
There's so much information on that website, no description from me can really do it justice. You'll need to just check it out for yourself. But here's a few of my favorite aspects.
1. The "Free" tab. Cause you're paying enough in rent, tuition, or other bills. Getting something for free would be a nice change of pace.
2. The "Plan Your Experience" tab. Cause sometimes you just need some help planning your event. Personally, I'm going to start attending all the "Girls Night Out" event suggestions to meet some ladies. Just kidding. Maybe.
3. The "Search Events By Date" function. Cause you want to know what's going down on a particular day.

PS. Shout out to Kerry from Bostonist (here). It was nice to meet you.

Rhea Said,
I will check out the new site. I like getting tix via Bostix. It's a good deal usually.
