[NewMusic] Google Calendar perk

One more remark about the Planning Calendar.  There's a feature that  
I've been using for the past year or so that I really like.
There's a preference that users can set that allows you to get a  
Google Alert specifically from the calendar.  I receive an email  
listing the day's agenda every day where there is at least one event  
on the calendar.  Even though my email box is already rife with  
unwanted messages and spam, I actually really like getting this one  
piece of mail because it acts as a quick reminder to me that there's  
something going on in the New Music community that night.

I am one of the subscribers to this list who has always been an  
enthusiast for the entire spectrum of Bay Area New Music from small  
venue improv nights to larger more "establishment" chamber and  
symphonic contemporary music events and everything in between (or  
everything out and tangental) so I really appreciate having a way to  
keep on top of all of those sometimes disparate things.

Because of these reminders, I've actually caught some things that I  
might have forgotten to see.  And, happily, now that more people are  
posting to it, I'm seeing more types of events in the reminder  
emails....


On a side note, I have no emails from this list (Bay Area New Music  
Discussion Group) for the 22nd or the 23rd which strikes me as odd.  I  
also noticed a reply to something for which I never saw the original  
post.  I wonder if anyone else is experiencing this...

Cheers,

Pamela
