I mean, running a website is absolutely the least fun part of owning a club. Or that’s what every club owner I know has told me, at any rate!

Ask whoever runs the Cave nowadays to update their website! There are currently like 2 shows, plus a blurry photo of the paper calendar for April :)

I’m not gonna go back to the old days of spending 4-5 hours a week compiling show listings & writing little blurbs & stuff.

But a computer can do the aggregation part. No cute blurbs. Sorry.
