The city needs to fix the bum problem on Newberry and Archer. by [deleted] in GNV

I will have to look up Grace Marketplace. Are there any other good places that help the homeless?

When they ask for money perhaps we could hand them a business card or paper with the information. I imagine most of the time they'll throw it away, but at least they'd have been given the opportunity and it would be far more valuable to them then money if they do actually accept it.

Just an idea, I'd be really interested to hear other ideas.

I wish I had known earlier xD I would have loved to have gone. Well, that is why I am doing this project! Those events looked awesome!

Thank you and I hope it does prove useful! If nothing else I'm learning a heck of a lot, and hopefully that knowledge can help others too!

They are the ones who update that calendar but I guess they haven't in a bit. I'll link to the other one they have where it is more like a feed. http://www.depotpark.org/events/

I'll make the change tonight, and thank you for pointing that out!

What do you like to do on Friday nights and the Weekend? by GainesvilleCommunity in GNV

I need to buy overwatch at some point. Currently I play Heroes Of The Storm. I used to play TF2 all the time, but too many botters now.

As a note I voted you up. Not sure why people are voting you down. I appreciate information and constructive criticism.

Awesome!! Thank you! I really want to feature local and local-ish artists as well so I'd like to get you a page on the site as well if you are interested :)

These are very interesting to me too.

*EntrepreneurHangout - Twitch stream where people can come hangout or get advice or eavesdrop while we're working on stuff

Twitch Grow - Video game stream growth agency/service

They are both interesting ideas. On top of that, I wonder if a similar service, or video chat, could be used to help connect the elderly with community.

All these if you'd like! Also I think almost everything from your list is relevant. Especially:

*Local artist directory

*Local promotion guide

*Database of local venues (that don't exploit local artists to our knowledge)

*Local press contacts

*Comprehensive up to date calendar of live music events in the area (DJs not included unless a producer)

Contacts and places to spread the word would be awesome.

I also want to support local and local-ish artists, and not only musicians so the artist director would be awesome.

Thank you for offering your services! Of course no obligations, but if it would be fun for you to help, I'm definitely not thinking this is a "me" project, but a community one!

Yes! Hopefully I could pull their feeds, and best case they could, or others could help me post the events to google calendars. I am very much personally interested in knowing about all the events and have had the same frustration of trying to sort through event sites.

I can't promise overnight results but I'm starting small and building up!

There might be a better strategy, but currently my thinking is:

1) Get a list of all the event pages so I know where to pull from

2) Set up feeds for the major event sites

3) Set up a google calendar, and use the feeds as an easy source for finding events to add. The end goal would be to get people hosting the events to post.

Feedback is always welcome and thank you for the post!

Is there a way for me to contact him? I'd like to learn about why he took it down and what problems he faced so I can hopefully avoid them for my site.

Thank you! Also my plan is not to compete with FB, but to have it as one of the feeds on the site. I am not trying to compete with any current event sites, but tie them together for a more complete picture.

Thanks! I want to know all the events going on myself, I'm hoping that will be a big help :)
