ChanteSez … It takes two to make a thing go right

The words too, two, and to are small but carry big impact. It’s easy to write one when you meant the other.

Check out these tips to help you pick the right one:

Extra o = one extra, as in “She’s coming along, too.”
I always look at the letter W and think of two V’s, or I consider the way it’s pronounced, “double-u.” In this case, think two letters = two.
To is a preposition. Prepositions connect. Remember, the shortest way to connect = the short “to.”

Elevate pool party starts Sunday

I love Memorial Day weekend for a variety of reasons — my birthday falls on it most years, there’s bound to be a barbecue somewhere, and it’s the start of the Elevate pool party.

Chris Nicholson and Mike Zarin have hosted the event at the W hotel downtown since 2009. Local and international DJs create the poolside vibe. Attendees run the gamut from fashionably fabulous to freshly hungover. All are welcome to don a bathing suit and swim, dance, take in the 16th-floor view, sip luxuriously (read: expensive) yummy cocktails or do it all.

Zarin says there’s been an uptick in the number of condos sold in the building over the last year. In an effort to let the ballers who bought there get their fair share of sunshine, the event will be held from 4-10 p.m. It’s also going monthly.

So schedule the last Sunday of every month for sunbathing and beats at Elevate. Free with RSVP. There’s a capacity limit, so arrive early.
