Too few nights here for a cast of its own — so these are the rooms the names billed here have of their own, and the row says who.

A regular is somebody billed at that room on three nights or more. This is one person's record, not two rooms' casts, and it is captioned that way on purpose.

The listings, the counts of them and every figure derived from them are our own record of what Resident Advisor published. Going-counts and genre tags are Resident Advisor's, relayed. Titles, prices and house rules are the promoters' own words, quoted exactly. The address, capacity, phone, website, follower count and description are Resident Advisor's venue page. Crowd names are ours. Nothing on this page was written for it.
