<div dir="ltr">I love the idea of this and would contribute if I had some time and energy. I've written a few Python scrapers before, but those were all years ago and one-offs. If you could share some details about how you've developed the ones you're presently using then I can try to take a look if/when I have some spare time. I assume most lists could be easily developed and maintained with one of the many Python web scraping libraries, although I have little to no experience with them.<div><br><div>Here's a random list of events and sources that immediately come to mind:<div><ul><li>Chunky's has a lot of sporting events, classic movies, etc that I often wish I knew about sooner</li><li>Canobie Lake Park has a lot of special dates, events, and shows</li><li>Salem NH has a summer concert series in the "Field of Dreams" park</li><li>The <a href="http://visitnh.gov">visitnh.gov</a> website has a list of festivals that I only seem to look at after the interesting events occur (<a href="https://www.visitnh.gov/things-to-do/event-calendar/festivals">https://www.visitnh.gov/things-to-do/event-calendar/festivals</a> )<br></li><li>Not in NH, but Lowell has a great set of festivals and concerts </li><li>There are several lists of beer festivals, Oktoberfests, etc </li></ul><div>Thanks for getting this started.</div></div></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, Sep 22, 2019 at 2:10 PM Joshua Judson Rosen <<a href="mailto:rozzin@hackerposse.com">rozzin@hackerposse.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">I just started a project to provide "guerrilla" newsfeeds for movie-theatres and stuff;<br>
wondering if anyone would be interested in helping out--adding more newsfeeds for different things.<br>
<br>
First is the Wilton Town Hall Theatre, which now has a GNU social stream + RSS/Atom feeds<br>
via <<a href="https://nhcrossing.com/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://nhcrossing.com/</a>>, as described here:<br>

... because I love seeing things there, and I've been subscribe to their mailing-list<br>
for years..., but I only recently came to realize/accept that the reason I *haven't been*<br>
seeing things there is that their "ALL THE THINGS!" style of listings<br>
(both in the e-mails and on the website) is not usable for me--<br>
and my wife (and kids) and I would probably go see more movies if it didn't<br>
require so much work to digest the listings.<br>
<br>
I've also started capturing the Milford Drive-In's listings into a revision-control system<br>
for the last couple of weeks so that I can find trends in how they update;<br>
thinking about adding a feed for them next--though, since their season is about to end,<br>
I may postpone work on that in favor of adding a listing for something else's that's<br>
interesting and live during the winter.<br>
<br>
Looking for suggestions--and help writing scrapers/converters. Ideally for more small-time<br>
local things that are more likely to appreciate the publicity than to sue me<br>
into oblivion "just per general corporate policy".<br>
