the underground knows.

a scene is mycelium. the posters and the packed rooms are fruiting bodies. the real network runs underground: musicians lending gear, sound engineers texting about a good drummer, regulars who know which nights to show up.

the thing is a calendar shaped like that. we pull live music from london ontario venues into one place. the people who go to shows mark where they are going, save the rooms they care about, and post photos from the nights worth remembering. not an algorithm. a commons.

the code is open source under agpl-3.0. fork it for your city. send patches back. mycelium spreads.

v0 is small on purpose. more venues, real scraping, federation come next. open an issue at github.com/explorience/the-thing, or start browsing.
