Start with the people responsible.
Event information comes from venue, promoter, artist or official ticket pages. Venue policies come from the venue’s own information pages. These sources are identified beside the relevant text. Search snippets and third-party calendars can suggest a lead, but a lead alone is not enough to publish a show.
The first collection was researched on 2026-09-12. That date is a record of reading the sources. It is not an automated live-feed timestamp or evidence of visiting the rooms. Build dates and page visits do not refresh it.
Keep the distinctions that change a plan.
- Doors, music and listed time: if a source gives an unlabeled time, it stays a listed time. A finish is only added when published. We do not invent a two-hour duration.
- Age policy: event-specific language controls over a general room description. “Punk” does not mean all ages. Conflicting sources receive a separate label and do not enter definitive all-ages or 18+ filters.
- Price: unknown is not free. Advance, door, sliding-scale and fee information stays in the explanation. A sold-out show is still a show, with its availability warning attached.
- Access: entrances, room routes, bathrooms and staff assistance are described separately. An accessible doorway alone does not establish an accessible night.
- Location: publish only intentionally public venue information. A venue planning a move is not already open at the future address.
When two sources disagree.
The Suitor listing at O’Brien’s illustrates why this matters. At the September 12 check, the venue and promoter disagreed on age and time, and quoted different price presentations. The event file keeps both links and explains the conflict. It does not pick the more convenient age rule. Ask the organizer to resolve the admission question before buying or traveling. Read that source comparison.
Old dates do not stay “upcoming.”
The show finder uses the current date in America/New_York. Today’s entries remain in today’s results until midnight; the site does not infer that a show ended from its doors time. Future listings last in the default view for seven days after the source check, then move to “Needs a source recheck.” Cancelled and postponed records are in “Cancelled / postponed,” including after the original date.
A missing venue calendar does not establish a closure. Trans-Pecos had no events displayed on the calendar checked for this edition. Its venue guide remains, with an honest empty show section and a link back to the official calendar.
Calendar files are copies.
An .ics download includes only current, recently checked, timed listings. It excludes past, stale, cancelled and postponed dates. A time labeled “doors” or “listed” keeps that label in the calendar title. Downloads use actual Eastern offsets for the date. An ambiguous clock time during a daylight-saving change cannot be exported until it is resolved.
Files do not subscribe you to updates. A later cancellation cannot reach a file already imported into another calendar. Open the source link before leaving. If you import an updated version, check how your calendar handles the same event identifier.
Contributions require a decision.
The contribution form saves show suggestions, corrections and public venue leads to the server. A receipt reports whether the record is pending, published, resolved or declined. An authorized editor opens the supplied source, checks the actual details and records a review note before publication.
Venue and guide corrections require an editorial source update and a check of the resulting page. The review queue does not automatically rewrite articles. There is no promised review time, and submitting an event is not a ticketing or promotion agreement.
Corrections should be specific.
Link the affected page and the official information that replaces it. “The promoter’s September 15 notice moves the show to the upstairs room” is actionable. Keep contact details, access requests and private correspondence out of the public explanation. Send a correction with its source.
