Get a useful morning brief in the week before a big event
Follow a game, concert or festival you plan to attend with a finite series of morning emails: what changed, what people are discussing, and what you need to know on the ground.

Replace the [brackets] with your details, then paste this into your assistant.
For the week leading up to [event on date at venue], prepare a morning update for me on [start date through event date] at [time and timezone], delivered to [approved email address]. I am [attending or following remotely]. I especially care about [topics]. First show me a sample issue and confirm the exact dates, recipient and schedule before enabling the series. Verify that scheduling and sending are supported; otherwise give me a reusable daily draft here.
Each issue should lead with what changed since yesterday and link the sources checked today. Explain the essential background, the most interesting current discussion, and any uncertainty. For a sports matchup, include the current spread with the bookmaker, market and check time when available; never present odds as fixed or a prediction. Separate official facts, reported news and commentary. If there is no material change, say so instead of filling space.
Because I am going, include an attendee section: official start time, venue entry and bag rules, transportation and parking options, weather implications, and special programming that affects arrival. Use the event organizer or venue for logistics, check dates, and mark anything unverified. End the final issue with a short arrival checklist tailored to my plans. Keep a dated record of links and prior claims so corrections are visible. Stop after [event date]; do not keep emailing indefinitely. Do not buy tickets, place bets, contact others or change my plans.

What the result could look like
Illustrative: a college game weekend
A hypothetical game-week issue could explain a changed matchup line, link to a coach update, and note an official parking advisory. The final issue becomes a compact arrival checklist for an attendee.
