This is a script that reads Anime Boston's (AB) schedule page and converts the HTML table (below) into an .ical file.
I found AB's page relatively unhelpful when it came to figuring out what I wanted to actually attend during the convention. This script allows you to import all of the events into a dedicated calendar app (e.g. Google Calendar) and edit them accordingly.
Once the events are imported into your calendar, you can delete events that you're not interested in attending.
This script also imports each event's description from their dedicated panel page, allowing for easy parsing of what the event is without needing to go to each page individually.
