Live and learn. We tried the ticking of boxes thing, to tell you in every single entry, if an event is: all ages, has a dance floor, how many people the dance area accommodates, if it’s outside, yada, yada, yada. We were doing our darnedest to have the most information for you. If you could see all the scrolling and clicking we were doing to make that happen. . .

So, now we’re working smarter, so we don’t burn out. But it’s cool for you. Here’s why:

Go to the calendar page and pick an event. Most any event. Now click on the venue. Bam! Everything you ever wanted to know about dancing to music at that juke joint, farmers market or restaurant. And then you know, and you don’t have to click through next time. And we only have to tick the “Click on venue for description” box and the genres, and we can load stuff up at lightening speed. And still have time to go dance.

Since we only have to enter this information once, we can be more complete. Sometimes a whole paragraph.

You won’t see the details you don’t need again and again, and we have less work.

Know what else is cool when you click on venue, that you may not have known or forgotten? All of its upcoming gigs will display below the description. How cool is that?

So, before June, we’ll have ALL the outdoor farmers markets, street fairs and summer series listed – in addition to most of the venues. We’re also getting some winery series in there. And festivals. And it’s oh, so much easier.

We would still love to have a Petaluma scout and a winery liaison to get us information about even more places folks can shake their booty. And, as always, tell all your music-loving friends about us.

The season has begun! Enjoy!
