I think crowd sourcing should be for gaining knowledge you don't have yourself. It should not be a replacement for being lazy - you can google tour dates for all those bands and comedians yourself - you don't need others to do that for you.

And also, you might want to spell San Francisco correctly :)

I got the impression that it wasn't about seeing those specific artists, so much as "these are bands I like, any similar music in the area in that time frame?"

Yes, there may be a certain amount of laziness to it, but there is also something else. When I travel, I have a tendency to leave a lot of gaps in my plan, and just go find locals at the watering hole or whatever, and flat out ask: "hey I'm visiting the area, whats neat to do around here" and usuall get great ideas from people. They know the good stuff locally, they know the stuff that is overhyped, and so on. I see this experiment as an extension of that.

Correct :) Discovering new music is awesome. Plus someone put me onto Songkick. Awesome discovery

My bad on the spelling error. Fixed here: https://github.com/xzyfer/us-travel-checklist/commit/781b63d...

On the up side my shame is public :/

Is that necessarily true though?

I reckon it's cool to draw on the collective experience of a group to find out nichey stuff, underground bands in that genre, for example.

Agreed - some of the stuff he's asking for is plain lazy. @OP: Google it yourself!
