FB changed code related to Organizer #6

Facebook must have changed something recently, the script is failing trying to find the organizer. (This is not a multiple organizer issue, it fails even on events hosted by a single organizer.)

error is: File "events-scraper.py", line 219, in find_organizer event_info["organizer"] = organizer[0].text IndexError: list index out of range

I made a quick fix. FB changed the name of a class which broke the script. I keep the bug open because I should implement a more robust method to find the organizers.
