Long-running Capitol Hill gay nightclub/leather bar at 1533 13th Ave —
three bars, a dance floor, and a patio. Hosts DJ nights, karaoke, line
dancing, tea dances, and an annual Cuff Pride Fest.

Investigated 2026-07-22:
- Confirmed Squarespace events collection (`/events?format=json` →
  `collection.typeName: "events-stacked"`, `collection.itemCount: 961`)
- `upcoming` is currently empty (`0` events); `past` shows a healthy,
  active cadence through late June 2026 (Cuff Pride Fest 2026-06-27,
  Fluffy Cuff Karaoke, Sunday Tea Dance, Chomper, Cafénico & Fantim) —
  the venue simply hasn't posted July's calendar onto Squarespace yet
  as of this check, not a dead/broken feed
- Per the "200 + 0 events" rule, do not implement yet
- 🔥 High confidence for next cycle — real, actively-maintained
  Squarespace events collection; just needs `upcoming` to repopulate

Re-checked 2026-07-23: still `upcoming: []` (0 events), no change since
yesterday. Keep monitoring.

**Implemented 2026-08-09** (`sources/the_cuff_complex/ripper.yaml`, built-in
`squarespace` type): `upcoming` has repopulated — 5 confirmed events
(Sunday Tea Dance x2, Fluffy Cuff Karaoke, Dum Top Trivia, Hump Day
Karaoke), all at the single fixed address (1533 13th Ave, Seattle, WA
98122), so `geo` is a fixed venue coordinate (OSM way `206623630` via
Nominatim) rather than `geo: null`. 0 parse errors at
`ONLY_SOURCE=the-cuff-complex npm run generate-calendars`.
