Booking Intervals

Yesterday I wasn't sure what to do with all my stats about who played what weekends when over the last few years, but here's a question we can answer now: how long do weekends wait before bringing someone back? I looked through all the repeat bookings [1] and counted how many years there were in between. So, two psuedo histograms, one for bands and one for callers:

Bands 0 1 I 2 IIII 3 III 4 III 5 III 6 II 7 I 8 I 9 III 10 II 11 12 13 14 15 I 16 17 18 I

Callers

0  IIIIIIII
1  IIIIIIIIII
2  IIIIIIIIII
3  IIIII
4  IIIII
5  IIIIII
6  IIII
7  III
8  III
9  I
10
11
12
13 II
14 I
15
16
17
18
19
20
21
22 I

Apparently caller and band re-booking are really different! Callers are much more likely to be asked back, and much much more likely to be asked back for the following year.

[1] I didn't include the Oberlin student band bookings because those seemed like a different sort of phenomenon.
