OffThaGrid

HipChat room: https://www.hipchat.com/gg6xjAniq, guests unfortunately cannot view chat room history.

There's a couple modules I used for this project. Here's an overview of what they each do.

Module Overview

Module	Purpose
events	Clears Events from database, prints Events from database (depending on sys.argv option)
vendors	Scrapes Vendors from OffTheGrid, resets all Vendor's attended attributes in database, prints Vendors from database (depending on sys.argv option)
hipChat	Posts all Vendors at 5th & Minna to [HipChat room] (https://www.hipchat.com/gg6xjAniq)
record	Requests all Facebook Events for that day, queries event description for Vendors, calls hipChat module, updates all Vendor attended attributes in database

        'NAME': '<db>', # Or path to database file if using sqlite3.
        # The following settings are not used with sqlite3:
