360wichita events #3

It doesn't appear that the site provides an API, but it might be nice to also grab (scrape) non-duplicate events from this page:

Thanks for the suggestion @Mottie. I think 360Wichita is definitely somewhere we should pull from, it is going to be a challenge though.

I did some digging around in their RSS feeds and it looks like their "All Events" feed doesn't actually show much (https://www.360wichita.com/rss/events), but if you browse by category you get a more complete list: https://www.360wichita.com/rss/events/Entertainment

Maybe we could jump into each of the individual categories and pull out the info from there? Using the categories would also give us an idea of what tags we could attach to the events as well.

It looks like the "All Events" feed is only showing stuff for today (it's much easier to read the feed in Firefox btw). Their feed is weird too...

If I look at the entertainment feed, it only shows today's events, but looking in the more specific entertainment feeds like comedy isn't showing the event I see in the main entertainment feed at The Looney Bin.

I guess it'll take some more digging to get a more complete list of events.
