With the upcoming demise of Stillepost.ca (funeral details are found here) Toronto will be losing an incredible resource for show listings. Hell, that’s the majority of what I use the site for. So, do you people want to pick up the slack? I’m willing to shell out for the domain, and cover hosting, if you kids are willing to help me with content. What say you?
I figure a simple WordPress install, with one page of listings, and that’s it. A handful of admins, and people can comment like they did before to add shows.
What’s the domain? Thoughts?
I think a good source would be to link to http://burndownthecapital.weebly.com/ or grab the RSS feed from there. That would help out with a few listings right off the bat.
Personally, though I wouldn’t be able to contribute much (though I’ll let you know whenever I see a show happening in Toronto) think it’s a great idea.
The weeklies have decent listings, but not all promoters and venues get in there. Without knowing how these things really work, it seems to me the best thing would be to have more complete listings in the weeklies, where they are available to all. Making up listings – even if they are woefully incomplete – is really time consuming.
