The Entertainment & Arts section is now online, woo hoo!

Check out the freshly typed Entertainment & Arts section of the Resource Guide! It includes info on cinemas, classical music, ballet, opera, dance, popular music and jazz venues, music festivals, theatre, cabarets, amusement parks, circuses, marionettes, spectator sporting events, entertainment guides with the latest listings, and even ticket venues.

I know it seems like some pages on this website will forever declare "no content" or "coming soon!", but I'm slowly and steadily getting all of the content typed up and coded and formatted and all those other things that make it useful and up-to-date. I was giving a tour at Versailles last weekend and can't help but take a bit of comfort in the fact that the château was a construction site pretty much throughout its lifetime as a royal residence. ;)

But I'm determined to get at least one section a week finished (I even rudely backed out of the cocktail party at the Titien exhibition tonight -- sorry Alexis!). As we speak, my poor editorial assistant is slaving away reformatting over 150 hotel listings from messy word documents into a database spreadsheet (don't worry too much about Caitlin, she's off to Berlin for a few days of R&R).

I'm going to try and finish the sections first that seem to be getting the most traffic, so in addition to the hotels, I'll be working on the nightlife reviews (bars, clubs, dancing, etc.) and then more restaurant reviews. Keep checking back, and thanks for hanging in there!
