At the risk of shameless self-promotion the Advocate's website is a valuable resource if you're looking for something to do in western New England. The site links all six papers in the New Mass. Media chain, giving visitors access to event listings for a huge swath of the region, stretching from southern Vermont through Connecticut and into New York. The site also features reviews, previews, restaurant listings and other arts and entertainment features. As in most cases on the net, if there's money to be made, there's money behind it. Ticketmaster's site provides a robust search engine for all U.S. locations where Ticketmaster events are taking place, making it an excellent source for listings.
All movie studios have web sites.
Movie posters are available, as well, by entering a contest. For something completely different, there's a Pittsfield company called Off the Wall Events. On its website are colorful images of folks having an old-fashioned good time on the Bungee Run, a horizontal version of bungee jumping. And if you're looking for something to wash it all down with, why not shop for wines online at Big Y Wines, whose website has a handy wine review section. You can also pay online and have your purchase delivered.
