We're in the process of fixing our calendar issues as we speak...um...type.

A nip here, a tuck there
We keep working to make sure Knoxville520 is the best place to keep up on local nightlife! And we've fine-tuned a couple of things along the way:
First, we just fixed the big list of drink specials so it will start from the current day, eliminating out-of-date listings.
When you click on a band in the bands list, you'll see a page of details about that band, as always. But we've added categories, which can be types of music or types of performers, to those details pages. Click a category and you'll see a list of other local performers in that genre.
And if we have links to that band's music in our database, we're tying those in so you'll soon be able to click and listen right from that band details page.
We're also working to link band pages and places pages to related events. The technology is already in place to do it -- we just have to get our fingers flying on the keyboards to create those links.
Stay tuned, too, for the launch of our e-newsletter. We're almost ready!

Hey you...wanna blog?
520 is looking for local folks to share experiences, observations, photos and insights about the Knoxville entertainment scene.
The subject is up to you--maybe you've got a band going on tour this summer or you're about to record your first CD or you're just damned excited about Alice Cooper coming to town--people wanna hear what you have to say. Seriously.
Send us an email at knoxville520@gmail.com and we'll get you started!

How this thing works
Maybe we're naive (don't say it!), but we're hoping Knoxville520 is easy enough to figure out that you won't need long, boring "Help!" pages. Still, it's a new site, and it's probably best to give you the 411 on how to use 520.
We will update this article from time to time as the site evolves.
