1. Add a time field in addition to date

   Being able to indicate the time of the show in addition to the date would be beneficial. I'm still just beginning to enter my concerts, and I have already encountered a couple of times where this would have been helpful.

   Reasons/Examples:
   1) Some artists will do 2 shows on the same day when there's enough demand to add an additional show, but not enough days on their schedule to add extras. E.g. Garth Brooks doing multiple shows on same day - a 1:00 pm and a 7:30pm on a Saturday. Two separate shows & separate tickets = a need for separate entries, and an easy way to tell them apart.

   2) Multiple performances on same day at a non-music festival. E.g. Texas Scottish Festival is not a musical festival, but they do have artists perform. A band might perform different sets on the same date, so a way to indicate which performance(s) were attended.

   3) As a way to order multiple performances on the same date within our concert lists. E.g. I have attended multiple different concerts on the same date (different venues, different artists, different tickets, etc.). While I will have them all listed separately, having the time of each show displayed with the date would make it make more sense to a stranger viewing my list and seeing 5 different concerts on the same date. (5 in one day is my personal record, with shows at ranging from 7:00am to 10:00pm.)

   At the moment, I'm adding the time to the concert title, but that's an inelegant solution. It would be nice to have a separate field for the time.

   We're working on this!

   
   

   One thing we've found is that entering a time can be kind of subjective though. For example some people might enter the time that the doors open, or when the concert was scheduled to start, or when the concert actually started, or when the headliner went on.

   
   

   Rather than give the option to enter any time, our plan is to add options for "Non-Standard Times". For example if the concert was an "Early Show" or an "After Party" or a "VIP Soundcheck". That sort of thing.

   
   

   Our hope is that solves the problem of false-positive duplicate concerts being merged together because they share all the same date/location/venue/band while also not creating a bunch of "real duplicate" concerts due to slightly mismatched times.

2. De-dupe and standardize data

   I would prefer a focus on completely de-duping and standardizing the existing data before adding any new features.

   Starting “The Big Clean” now!

   This is a really big project and is going to consist of a bunch of small projects to make sure things stay cleaner and more standardized in the future.

   And a lot of it will be behind the scenes so don’t be surprised if you aren’t seeing much happening.
