More events

Yesterday we reached 75 places with events, and it's really hard work to make all those HTML-parsers!
On a good day I can make 10-12 parsers.
The strategy is to find the places that have events and is located in one of the top 30 largest cities in Denmark (http://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danmarks_største_byer)

The material we get from their websites is off course copyrighted, implying that it's illigal to collect and display it. Although we believe it's in their own best interest, especially since it's free, and doesn't require anything from them except that they keep their own website up-to-date.
Basically our approach is to contact the places via email, asking for promision to show their events. So far we have contacted 42 places, 21 of which have replied, and only 1 negative answer.
