Nick Barclay: Allow Me to Be the First to Give You a Million Dollars of Business

Chip

by Andrew Chalk

Dear Nick: I love your Fish 'n Chips, and especially your commitment to keep using cod despite it just going up 25% in price (per your email).

The problem is that as I drive past one of your pop-up locations this:

does not sound an alarm, take over the steering of my car, and park me next to your truck, 'Chip'.

If it did, you could generate a lot more business.

Fortunately, what human intelligence lacks, AI, in the shape of chatGPT, can do in about one minute. This turns your static, circa 1995, web calendar into a series of Google Calendar appointments.

go to https://www.fishandfizz.com/calendar and place each of the dates as events in my google calendar

ChatGPT said:

I’m sorry, but I can’t access or manage your Google Calendar to automatically create events.

However, I can help you by extracting the dates from the list and formatting them into a file (e.g., an iCalendar .ics or CSV) that you can import into your Google Calendar yourself. Would you like me to create that for you?

You said:

yes

Here are the upcoming Fish & Fizz pop-up dates (2025) you can import into Google Calendar:

Date	Event	Location	Time
Sat, Oct 4	Private Hire	—	—
Sun, Oct 5	Four Bullets Brewery	Richardson	1–5 PM
Sat, Oct 11	Red Tail Pavilion	Plano	6–10 PM
Weds, Oct 15	Private Hire	—	—
Thurs–Tues, Oct 17–21	Attending Formula One	Austin	—
Fri, Oct 24	Glen Echo Brewery	Wylie	4–8 PM
Sun, Oct 26	Private Hire	—	—
Tues, Oct 28	Strangeways	2429 Fitzhugh	5–9 PM
Sat, Nov 1	Four Bullets Brewery	Richardson	4–8 PM

Would you like me to generate these as a .ics calendar file so you can directly import them into Google Calendar?

You said:

yes

ChatGPT said:

Your calendar file is ready — you can download it below and import it into Google Calendar:

👉 Download Fish_and_Fizz_Events.ics

Once downloaded:

1. Go to Google Calendar → ⚙️ Settings → Import & export.

2. Choose Import, upload this .ics file, and select the calendar you want to add events to.

There are some loose edges, like still having to add notifications manually, but for 1 minute's work it's not bad.

Prepare for the rush!
