Nice idea but I was hitting a lot of JavaScript errors when using it on the latest Firefox build. Presented with a lovely completely blank, white screen when that happened too :(
I loved how easy it was to scan list of upcoming events but I did run into an issue when looking for events in London.
The 'City, State, Country' format led me to input 'London, London, England' which didn't feel...right.
Generally the first few results on any given day were for London, but it also gave me events in India, the US and Canada (I gave up checking after a while).
1. Auto detect my location based on IP address so I don’t have to click that tiny link for my city.
2. You mention 3 kinds of events…techies, makers and urban misfits. Maybe color code or put icons to differentiate which events match those types. The first two are probably the same (or are they not?), but I really wanted to see a separated list or make it easier to find events only related to the last one. Mostly because it jumped out at me more for being novel.
Also, please, please add more cities. We don’t have problems finding events in San Francisco…the people who really need this are elsewhere. Help them find each other.
