What is in it

  • One place, told properly, with what it costs to reach and what closes when.
  • One checked fact, with the source under it, of the kind in the field notes.
  • One thing you can actually book this month, when there is one. When there is not, nothing is invented to fill the slot.

What is not in it

  • Affiliate roundups and ten-best lists.
  • A daily. It is once a week and it is short.
  • Festival dates copied from last year without checking whether this year's edition exists.
