I send party columns to Philly Mag, Philly Style and Main Line Today magazines. I usually send them two or three choices over the allotted choices, which may or may not be picked up by them. This is one of the events that was not picked up, this was for ML Today as you will note their hometowns are listed, as is the requirement for that outlet.
