Investigate Thee Parkside (SF) — Squarespace events collection exists but is empty

[chubes4]

Problem

Thee Parkside in San Francisco has a Squarespace events collection (/live-music-2, type 10) titled "Live Music" but the collection has 0 items (itemCount: 0). The Squarespace extractor correctly identifies the collection but finds no events.

Venue

• Name: Thee Parkside
• City: San Francisco, CA
• URL: https://www.theeparkside.com
• Events page: https://www.theeparkside.com/live-music-2
• Nav text: "Events Calendar", "Live Music Booking"

Technical Findings

1. Squarespace events collection exists: /live-music-2?format=json returns a valid collection of type 10 (events) titled "Live Music"

2. Collection is empty: itemCount: 0, no upcoming or past arrays in the JSON response

3. HTML shows event navigation: The page has "Just Announced", "Summer Series", "All Events" tabs in the HTML — these are Squarespace event filter tabs for an events collection

4. No embedded widgets: No iframe, no third-party calendar widget detected. This is native Squarespace events infrastructure.

5. The venue IS active and has live music: Their Facebook (facebook.com/parksidepothill) and Instagram (@theeparkside) confirm regular live music shows

Possible Explanations

• Seasonal gap: They may only publish events seasonally (the "Summer Series" tab suggests this). Investigated in April — may be between seasons.
• Events are published individually as pages/posts rather than through the Squarespace events module
• Events are only on social media and the website events section is aspirational/unused

Recommended Action

1. Check again in a few weeks to see if events appear in the collection
2. Check their social media (Instagram/Facebook) for current shows — if they're actively listing shows there but not on the website, this venue may need social media scraping instead
3. If the collection remains empty long-term, classify as "venue doesn't publish events on website" and skip

Impact

Low priority — single venue. If events start appearing, the existing SquarespaceExtractor should handle them without changes.
