[Data-modeling] Music Festival, Festival Tours, and Recurring Festivals

[Micah Saul]

A-ha... good call... I meant to change Artists to lineup, but totally  
forgot to do so.

I like the Creator/ organizer... that actually seems to appear in the  
WP infobox, as well.

I'm actually really not happy with the naming currently... I want to  
play around with the type and property names a bit more to try to  
figure out wording that makes sense.

Thanks, Faye,
micah
