Hey man this is pretty cool. I'll come up with a script that imports a list of all the entities. I didn't look at the hubot stuff but the api is pretty sweet. Flatiron just looks so nice.

What's the deal with the mongo stuff? I see it's all commented out. In reality mongo is probably overkill for this. Redis would work good but it doesn't look like there is an npm package for resourceful-redis. That would be cool to make if it's not super involved. We can drop all voting data after a week so maybe setup a cron task to run on Sat that drops all the week's voting data to keep the memory footprint as small as possible over time.

I think we need to play with the date stuff and write some sort of frequency algorithm so an entity only shows up x amount of times in the voting within a given week and once a place has won for the week it won't show up in voting again that week.

I'll dig into flatiron over spring break and wrap my head around it all.
