Unfortunately we don't have any way outside of the API to get a user's ID and the user call you referenced is not available for this contest. Sorry for any confusion.
Since that call is not available, there will not be any customization that can be done for a specific user. The total number of users is available though, which is represented by in the API. This corresponds to the number of users who added that band to their lineup.

Hi Quinn
We do have a call that will list the user's events on their custom schedule. That call is:
http://api.dostuffmedia.com/users/USER_ID.xml?key=API_KEY
and you can see an example here:
http://api.dostuffmedia.com/users/317709.xml?key=2beb11af18abf85a56d9152f54bd3b606feb10b2
Keep in mind that this information will not be available until Lolla's schedule has been released, currently only their lineup is available.
Thanks and good luck!

So even though you can choose what bands you want to see now, this feature isn't available until the schedule is released?

Yes, that's correct.

How do I get a User's Id? Can I look it up with their display name?

When will the schedule be released?

Is there any way to get a User's Id? Maybe something outside of the API? Otherwise, what is the point of this request?

That didn't answer my question. Is there any way to get a User's Id? Maybe something outside of the API? Otherwise, what is the point of the User Call (http://api.dostuffmedia.com/users/USER_ID.xml?key=API_KEY)?

Ok. So there is no customization that can be done based on a user, correct?
