Frequently Asked Questions
What is Do713?
It's the place to find out what to do in Houston. We list more events than any source in town. Find out about thousands of music, art, theater, film, and special events event happening around town including great happy hours and drink specials. Do713 is also a social networking tool - build your crew, recommend events you like to others, view others' picks and they can view yours. Do713 also has a "Weekly Top Picks" newsletter featuring the highest-rated events of the upcoming week.
How are events ranked?
Rankings are based on the number of people recommending an event, combined with the recommendations from Do713 "All-Stars" (bloggers and local media). You make a recommendation for an event by clicking "I LIKE IT!" The number next to the title of the event represents how many people have recommended it.
Where do Do713.com events come from?
The events on Do713 come from a number of places. We pull shows from bands' websites/myspace pages and from venue websites. Users add their own event, or send us press releases. We also scour the internet looking for unique events. One delightful aspect of Do713 is the ability for you, our users, to add events yourself.
How do I add an event?
It's as easy as clicking "Add an Event" at the top of the Do713 homepage and filling in the blanks -- who, what, where, when. You can upload posters or pictures associated with the event too. Please contact us at do713@do713.com if you would like to advertise your event or need help with adding it.
Can I show my friends (and enemies) my recommendations?
You sure can. Once you register you have a profile page that shows all the events for which you've clicked "I Like It!" It also shows the comments you've made about events, bands, and venues. You can share recommendations by clicking the "Email Your Friends" link, or add events Facebook, Myspace, and more. You can even embed your own customized calendar showing all of your recommendations on your blog or Myspace page. Add some personality to your profile by including a picture, a link (to your website, blog, myspace page, whatever), and a blurb about yourself.
Can I view events by type of event?
Yes! You can search under music, arts, drinkin or happy hour. Within each category you can choose to see only the events your crew has recommended, or the events recommended by "All-Stars". To make your life even easier you can simply click on Top Picks and see only the most popular events for that day.
Can I view all events for a band or venue?
Yes again! Just click on the band or venue name to see a page of all upcoming shows, music, video, photos, and even a place to sing your praises (or shout your objections) in the Comments section.
Where do the photos come from?
We figured it wasn't fair to ask you to upload photos to yet another site, and there were already so many great photos Flickr.com, that we decided to pull them from there. If you already use Flickr and want to make sure your photos are available to Do713.com - just tag them Do713 (along with the band or venue name) and we'll find them. If you don't use Flickr, take a look, as it's a pretty snazzy photo sharing site. Note: You can see the tag for a band or venue by visiting its page on Do713.
