I went to the Microformats and Music talk, and took some notes, which are going to evolve in the Wiki. What was interesting to me is that it seems like the hCalendar microformat is getting fairly pervasive, with services like upcoming.org and eventful.com collecting event information and distributing it this way. Thus, the focus of this session was more on how can we get bands and representation and venues using hCalendar, so that their show information can start zipping around the Internet automatically, notifiying me of all of the cool bands that are coming to my town.

This session was pretty small, and also pretty cool. I learned about a bunch of new websites (including pingerati.net), and learned a bit more about microformats - which I have been interested in, but haven't had time to read about.
