I'm not sure there's a magic bullet for reconciling your venues and
ours. If you find one, let us know -- you'd help us reduce duplicates
within the Upcoming database!

Anyway, have you already tried a batch process to match all venues in
your db against ours? If you haven't tried it yet, you may find that
many match well, and the remainder are a manageable number to check by
hand.
