Has the time or date or details of one of your events changed? If you posted the event yourself on our site, then remember – You can always change the details if you’re logged into your Patch account. Failing that, leave a comment on the item in question! The issue is that lately, people have been e-mailing me, and depending on the time of the day, it can take me anywhere from 30 minutes or 30 hours to get to the item, unfortunately. As a result, I encourage you all to be as proactive as possible!

Oh no! Maybe there seriously aren’t that many events today, given that it’s Australia's Harmony Day. As a result, our events calendar for today is a bit barren. If you’re having an event, please let us know in the comments. Also, make sure it isn’t left out in the future – Submit it via this link (as long as you’re logged into your Patch account).

Sign up for our daily newsletter! Hey, I realize we have a lot of neat features and knick-knacks on the site, so it can be confusing to keep up with it all. Want just one simple, easy to read daily digest? Sign up for our e-mail newsletter here then. It comes out between 6 a.m. and 7 a.m. roughly, every single day of the week. Amazing, I know.

Spoiler alert: Catchy phrase aside, he was not an especially good dude. On this day in 1871, journalist Henry Morton Stanley began his search for Dr. Livingstone. (The doctor was a fairly decent dude though, as far as the 19^th Century went.)

Not to be confused with Michelle Branch OR Vanessa Carlton. Happy 40^th birthday to Vanessa Branch! Although she was Miss Vermont in 1994, and she’s appeared in a handful of small TV roles, you probably know her best as the Orbit Gum girl.
