How to read a strip of the weekend.

HUM is a fictional civic listening station. Twice a year we print forty-eight hours of what the city is doing and pin it to the wall. This is the October transmission: ten readings, two days, no ranking.

Spikes are time, not noise.

The base of each spike is its start time; its height is the ticket price. A short mark means a free reading. Dates are fixed: Saturday 03 and Sunday 04 October 2026.
Every reading opens.

Times, venue, neighbourhood, format, price and access notes live one click in. If a room has steps, a ramp or a captioned screen, the reading says so.
Circle what you want to keep.

Circles live in this browser only and ring the matching spike in pink. Nothing is sent anywhere; close the tab and the shortlist is still here when you return.

Fig. 1 — anatomy of a spike. Hand-drawn at the station; not to scale. The pink ring appears when you circle a reading.
