2008 Intown Event Calendar

I thought I'd get the year off to a good start by compiling a calendar of some of the major home and neighborhood-related events that will take place intown this year. NOTE: Not all event web sites have updated from 2007 as of the posting of this calendar. Make sure you're getting current info before making plans! ALSO NOTE: I didn't just make up the dates listed, but I can't guarantee they are 100% correct since events can be rescheduled (and finding dates for neighborhood events scheduled months in advance can be tricky!). Don't plan a trip to the city for any of these events without double checking the dates on their official web sites. :)
