Fiddling with a simple booking system for a music venue. The people working on that venue starts working at 17:00-ish at one day, and is finished 03:00-04:00. For a maintainer of the calendar, saying that something happens on May 19th at 01:00 when it actually happens on May 20th at 01:00, makes sense. Any ideas and suggestions on how to implement this kind of thing and keep everything smooth, sexy and DRY? (Yes, that’s a vague question, so I’m looking for overall ideas and suggestions, not funky app-specific details) ---

Answering myself for the win. This - [Hey there, time traveller! | Filament Group, Inc.](http://www.filamentgroup.com/examples/slider/index2.php) looks pretty sexy. A sensible time input for this particular case. As for viewing it, doing some fancy sort by with a modulo should work, setting the “midnight” of the calendar view to 05:00 or something. calendar\_events.sort\_by {|e| (e.time\_and\_date - 16.hours).hour % 24 }
