The notion of cataloging and codifying conventions, as they emerge, is spot on.

It is at microsyntax.org I think it might be relevant to your efforts.

The more events and interesting things that are syndicated, the easier it is for us to consume and hilight for travelers. Imagine, to use your example above, if a chess grandmaster from Philly was traveling to Keene – he could show up at the Chess club and everyone has a good time… :-)

Check out our guide for the trip you just described – yes, we even have a travel guide for Keene, NH! Of course, if Elmcity is successful, there would be much more great events in the Events chapter

Yeah, I’d love to discuss. Offbeat Guides looks very different if you do, say, Philadelphia PA -> Keene NH vs. Keene NH -> Philadelphia PA. Part of my motivation here is to make what there is to see and do in smaller cities and towns more discoverable, and more capable of syndication. Partly for travel and tourism, and partly to attract people who might want to relocate.

We definitely need to chat. I love this idea, and we’re doing something that might be quite interesting to you over at Offbeat Guides…

Let’s reconnect, would love to fill you in more on what we’re dong and hear more about what you’re doing…

Dave
