    Well, Joe, I'd say you found one of the few contexts where that joke will work. Good show!

    And thanks again for providing this service.

    Thanks. Wasn't sure what that last line should be and wasn't sure if it would work or not.

    Gotta find ways to amuse myself in this crazy world. You monkeys can't always be available to dance for my amusement.

    @gizmomathboy , I have a present for you. Check out the Events Export CSV, now. In particular, the last column.

    Can you separate out date and time into different columns?

    The csv does not match the event catalog. It is pulling information that is not visible to online event catalog.

    Thanks for the heads up, Edwin -- can you be more specific? Always looking to increase accuracy.

    GM names are be pulled incorrectly in the csv file. They are pulling from some other location.

    I've updated the script to use the same function that produces the GM names on the front-facing site. Let me know if you're seeing any specific issues.

    The current event listing CSV file (i.e., the one I downloaded today from the Gary Con site) does not match the data I get when I look up the events I am running. I am running sessions of Small World on Thursday at 8:00 a.m. and Sunday at 10:00 a.m. Both events show 1 ticket available according to the CSV file, but when I look at the events on the Gary Con site, they show up as sold out.
