It looks fantastic, Mike, and I've been very interested to read about your shopify experiences too. One tiny snag you can easily fix: when scrolling over the map (with a scroll wheel) it zooms rather than scrolling. We had the same problem on our site where we'd put large Google Maps that get in the way of the cursor, but I'll leave it to you to solve since you'll be wanting something to do at the weekend :)

Subject: [MCG] Handel & Hendrix - new site
Hey all
We just went live with this: http://handelhendrix.org
It's a bespoke WordPress build with lots of customisation, including..
- homepage using a "masonry" style approach
- pulling in events from Culture24 using a custom plugin (soon to be
open-sourced..) including calendar
- pulling in of Shopify products (http://handelhendrix.org/shop/)
- Timeline.JS (http://handelhendrix.org/learn/about-handel/) - again,
shortly I think we'll do this as a WP plugin
- newsletter builder
..and lots of other things..
Just battening down the hatches ready for the ticketing to open on
Monday.. ~eek~
We'll blog about details soon on http://www.thirty8.co.uk/blog/ but
thought you'd like to see it - shout if you find anything untoward!
cheers
Mike
