Mildly interesting
This calendar has been maintained by me, Tushar Samant, since late 2006. It was preceded by calendars maintained by Seth Tisue and Malachi Ritscher.
Large parts of the years 2020 and 2021 are, unfortunately, missing.
There is no theory governing what is listed. The general bias is hopefully clear from the listings themselves.
Current work
I am working on:
- bringing more past events online
- adding a directory of artists
- adding a directory of venues
Deeply fascinating
