Well, I'm either so LEET that I'm beyond help, or no one cares.
Either way I ended up having to write my own module basically combining the cck textfield and the cck nodereference to get the functionality my customer wanted.
It wasn't that hard actually considering I have no idea where the cck api developers guide is.
So, in case someone else needs something similar. I offer my stupid module for usage purposes. :)
I figured I'd just create a page, because I'll probably have more over time.

Hello all, I'm sure someone has already figured this out, but I feel I've done the due dilligence on my own and am now reaching out for help.
I have created 3 content types with all the relevant fields....
Band Show Venue
For my show content type I want to give the ability for the user to enter names of bands and the names of venue the show is at. The node reference field type works great when the venue or band already exists , but when it doesn't that field isn't even saved. So we get a show with no venue and no bands if they do not exist in their respective content types.
Ideally I would like to have the reference potentially resolved to a node at view time rather than save time, but I haven't managed to find any CCK documentation that would give me any direction on how to do this without completely overriding the template for that node type.
Does anyone have any experience in doing something similar? Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
