def get_place(self, allow_import=True):
'''
Returns full Place object for this event's venue. If venue has an
ID, full place info will be taken from a separate FB request.
Otherwise, one will be cobbled together from the available info.
If data has no 'venue' field, this will None. In this case, it
might be worth calling get_field with the key 'location' to get
a plaintext primitive place name as a fallback.
If allow_import is True, the Place will be created from a FBPage
imported on the spot if there is an ID specified for the venue.
Otherwise, the venue id will be ignored
Remember the location assigned to the Place is not saved, so simply
saving the Place (or even saving the Location then the Place) won't
work. Need to do this:
place.location.save()
place.location = place.location # reassign so ModelField assignment statement handles the new ID
place.save()
