To create
Ethel’s Chocolate Lounge sponsors a “Create Chocolate, Create Hope” design contest. Submit a design through July 31 that could appear atop select chocolates and receive $1,000 to continue your art education. Entry form at ethelschocolates.com.
To gas
Mygallons.com, a price club of sorts, allows members to buy gas at the current per gallon price and lock it in for the future. Annual membership fees range from $29.95 to $39.95.
To mix
Why does the mix tape refuse to die? Create a virtual one at mixwit.com — drag songs from your own mp3 archive, upload artwork and photos to decorate, and post it to blogs or social networking sites.
Ten to tango
Take tango and salsa lessons for $10 from 7 to 10 p.m. Thursday at The Silver Room (1442 N. Milwaukee Ave.) No pre-registration required.
