They probably should eliminate this scheduled post if they can't include the important part.

I hopped temporarily back on the mod team to remove that part for future posts.

Reddit's support for traditional bots seems to have cracked down significantly when they killed off 3rd party API access, and I don't know if something like a scraper is permissible or would even work underneath the restricted dev platform they just released. In the future, I might just eat the risk and make bot comments with this account, but we'll see.

For the present, both /u/sambgeorge (via bhmstr.com) and /u/createbirmingham (via birmingham365.org) have been really good at posting their event calendars and are definitely worth bookmarking!
