I love this idea and think there could be a lot of value generated here.

Here's a brain-dump of feedback items (both UX and feature requests):

- I'd like to search by various data fields (event name, location / zip code, date)

- When updating the results list, I'd like to see the map auto-snap to all the events (currently, when I select "this weekend", there'll be more events in the list than visible by default in the map)

- The "Show more" tooltip is a bit redundant with the stuff in the sidebar, and its alignment is a bit off

- The form to create a new event is 11 steps long - without an indicator, I might lose my patience and give up... perhaps there's a way to batch a couple questions in a single screen, or display a step indicator

- If the "Show more" tooltip is displayed, and I switch to a different event type, the tooltip should be hidden

- I appreciate the ability to subscribe to an email list, but I'd also like to set up a profile / event preferences / email & push notifications

- I'd like to be able to tag myself & others at events

- I'd like to be able to follow up on past events to see the outcomes, guests, etc...

- I'd like to see if there are any business and/or local gov't sponsorships for events

- I'd like a calendar integration for any events I "follow" or "plan to attend"

I really appreciate the feedback, it's exactly what we're looking for!

The feature ideas are all great and I couldn't agree more with the UX points you made -- I'm hoping we'll be able to fix most of them in the coming weeks. Thanks again :)
