Hello, Modern tribe folks.<\/p>\n
I’m interested in building a local music calendar to replace some spreadsheets those committed to the local music scene diligently put together every week. This would include cover bands, original artists, and community events featuring many bands bands in many venues within our geography (northern and western suburbs of Philadelphia, PA). The tech vision here is to use your Pro product to allow people to see what bands are playing near them on a given day, and possibly your Filter Bar to allow them to refine their search to certain genre and\/or bands. <\/p>\n
The goal is to be band\/agent\/venue agnostic and totally inclusive, as we have no vested interest in anyone. We just want to know who’s playing where on a given day. Most other sites I’ve seen are run by booking agents, venue owners\/corporations or folks who run open mic programs and only list their own events or talent.<\/p>\n
I’ve been playing with the basic Events, and can’t believe the enthusiasm of the handful of people and venue owners with whom I’ve shared the initial mockup version. I know I can change “Organizer” to “Performers” or “Bands”, which I’ll also do.<\/p>\n
A few questions:<\/p>\n
1) If a person filters on a music type (which we would, I assume, put as a category) can they then do a map view to see those bands? Map view is something everyone wants. And can it be restricted by day (“show me everything around me on Friday” he said, planning for the weekend…)<\/p>\n
2) I envision adding the Community Events component (eventually) to allow bands and venues to drop their own events in, possible in return for a small voluntary donation to support the site. I think I can restrict end users to add their band (organizer) to add event at any venue, without being able to add other bands. Similarly, I think I get allow a venue to add any band, but not touch other venues. Can I grant granular access to a booking agent to book 10 specific bands into any venue, or book any band into 5 venues for which they book? (Neither is an uncommon arrangement)<\/p>\n
3) Sounds cool, right?<\/p>\n
Thanks for your attention, and for your products. I’m looking forward to using them.
