Make arbitrator able to add locations to events in google #7

We can get the locations with one of the following methods:

  1. Through the google maps API (although we'd probably have to prompt the user for some input)
  2. Through AS by checking the appropriate web page (probably what we'll want to do long-term once we start scraping the web pages)
  3. Entering the location as named, and using an alias, much like we do with groups.
  4. A combination of 1 and 3, utilizing google maps as an auto-suggest as much as possible.

2 is not possible - sometimes addresses aren't entered into AS, and thus the address isn't available at all. In many cases, we're going to need some input from the user, so rather than guessing, I suggest we do this the right way.
