Not to barge in here, but I've built a similar service that I feel like is different enough that this isn't rude. http://impromptudo.com. The aim is basically to be the padmapper of local events. I am targeting the 15 largest cities in the US for now, give it a try if you are in one of those locations. And also even better if you can tell me I am missing something that you know should be there. |

I think the maps api allows you to use custom pins, so how about different icons for different types of events.
Also noticed you have an empty meta description.
Also, to both projects, how about implementing machine learning to find events (scan twitter, FB, G+ and sites). Hehe, someone smarter than me would have to figure out how this would work :)
This really is the key to success with sites like these, you needs events, and you need alot.
You don't really want to be entering events manually if you don't have to. The future isn't manpower, its algorithms.
P.S. I've bookmarked this.
