 * The 8 attributes I have setup I now need to be included into a database table
   so they can have their one unique ID and also to stop me having to constantly
   typing the same names over and over ago which will reduce the risk of typos –
   in other words I need a duplication of the location table.
 * If it’s not possible to add a table to EM could I add one into WP an then link
   from EM to this new table?

 * Sorry to explain….
 * I have created 8 attributes in the events table (one for each character in the
   show). In an individual event I can populate the actors name against the character**
   but** as the text is free text, ie not coming from a table, there is no way for
   me to do unique queries based on the actor – ie show me all roles that he has
   played, how many times have I seen him etc – whereas if the role and character
   were in a table I could do that.
 * In other words where I can add a location and reference it by location_id I need
   a table called cast and do the same. I am not using the booking table at all 
   so I wonder if I could amend that.
 * Hope that makes more sense

 * I’d use the em_meta tables for that. There’s no easy way though, you’d have to
   code this all yourself.
 * I’d use custom posts for your other info though, becasue events will soon be 
   posts (weeks/months)
