A NOTE TO READERS:

7, The Spokesman-Review’s weekly pop culture and entertainment magazine, reflects the energy of the area’s growing entertainment scene. This special Tuesday edition samples what 7 offers on Fridays in print and online ( www.spokane7.com).

Since printing space is limited, many features are only offered online. The searchable listings allow users to create their own calendar – sorting by date, category, free events, events costing $7 and less, and hot picks. More than 135 mp3s of local bands are available for free downloading. Restaurant listings include more than 400 area eateries and readers’ tips for can’t-miss menu items. Music, movie and political blogs give readers up-to-the- minute insight. These features and more constantly are being updated, so check the Web site frequently.
