So to be absolutely correct, you store future timestamps in localtime, along with GPS coordinates of the location for the event. Then you determine the time zone of the physical locale based on a GIS lookup. Then when rendering, you offset that against the timezone of the user’s current location. I think.

I hate time.

Yep. That's exactly what we did :-) For the short time we were running the service (about a year or so) it worked great ;-)
