Update: Voting is live! Vote for my app at https://clojurecup.com/#/apps/booker, then check out some more deserving entries at https://clojurecup.com/#/apps and vote for them too!

It was pretty exhausting, and the app doesn't do quite as much as I was hoping it might, but I'm still quite happy with how it all turned out. Here's how my weekend went.
