However, neither he nor the event hosts are perfect and therefore he is not responsible for inaccuracies, typos, weather delays or cancellations, acts of God, mobs, riots, alien invasions, stock market slumps, unemployment, bratty children, the pollen count, gum getting stuck to your shoe, bad hair days or any other reason for the information failing to be correct. Confirmation of event details is the responsibility of the person who wishes to attend the event or activity.

Consider this weekly update a sort of suggestion that maybe something is happening, or maybe it’s not. I don’t really know.
