Love this! Love the map!

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.
