I like the spirit of adventure in that last line.

To me, rather than making one venue into another or vice versa, it seems 
more interesting to explore a customizable mashup, which could take 
feeds from multiple venues and integrate them into one convenient UI.

If only we had a tool that was adept at handling HTTP requests and 
parsing text....
