Is anyone using a calendar or promotion spud to display opening and closing dates for extended-duration events?
For theater, art exhibits and other events with a duration of at least 3 weeks, I'm trying create calendars that show upcoming opening dates and upcoming closing dates. For these types of events, I set-up a recurring event (weekly or daily recurrence). For the first week of the recurrence, I include the event on the Theater calendar (for example), and also on the Openings calendar. During the last week, I include it on the Closings calendar.
I've tried using the Upcoming Events promotional spud to display Openings in one spud and Closings on another, but using this method will show each individual Closing date as a separate listing, rather than grouping them together. So, I tried a calendar spud, selected the Openings calendar for one spud and Closings calendar for another and used the Performance schedule view. This actually works pretty well, except that I cannot control the dates displayed. Using the promotional spud, I can choose to display events coming up within the next 7 days, which is the option I would like to be able to control by using the performance schedule. If you take a look at my home page, www.so-LAZE.com, you may get a better idea of what I'm attempting to describe!
If anyone can provide me with examples of how you've handled this, I'd sure appreciate it!

- Interests:I started Soleil's To-Dos in 2000, following a 1 1/2 year stint at a large law firm. No time for a social life, but received info about events; I either forgot about it or didn't attend b/c I didn't have enough info. After leaving, I decided to share information I received with friends & family, and to include as much info about the events as I could. Stuff that "I" would want to know before attending an event. I started using Word docs, but that had its limitations. I knew the direction I wanted to go in & hired a website designer who used way too many manual elements. I fired him & set off to find the perfect calendar. I've got no html or design experience, but I've tried to create the skeleton of my dream website. When I ultimately hire a designer to finish it off, I know that designer will have to at least surpass the bones that I've established, with my rookie self! Take a look at my site, and if you know of a creative designer, I'd appreciate the referral!
