(pardon the crosspost… I posted this on [rubyonrailsforum.com](http://rubyonrailsforum.com), too but  
it doesn’t seem to get as much traffic.)

I’ve got a project that I’m working on where I’m tracking band  
performances.

So, I’ve got a model for “Show” and it’s got a date associated with it.  
But I’ve got other fields that I’d like to set times for, but not worry  
about the date.

like this:

show\_date (date)  
doors\_open (time)  
show\_starts (time)  
check\_in (time)  
load\_in (time)  
etc…

how would I go about doing that?

Thanks!
