I just changed the page layout to include a list of upcoming events at the top of the sidebar on the right side of the page. I’ll keep the focus on local events. In fact, right now, all four events listed are hyper-local, on Cortelyou Road, right down the block from my home:

• Friday, June 15, 8pm-12mid
  Sustainable Flatbush: Urban Permaculture, at Vox Pop
• Sunday, June 24, 2-5pm
  Brooklyn Blogade Roadshow, Flatbush, at Vox Pop
• Sunday, July 1
  Cortelyou Greenmarket: Opening Day, Cortelyou Road between Argyle and Rugby Roads
• Sunday, September 16, 11am-6pm
  Flatbush Frolic, Cortelyou Road east of Coney Island Avenue

This is an experiment. Updating it is a manual process, requiring me to change that section of the layout whenever I want to remove an expired event or add a new upcoming one. So, at least for now, I’m only going to include events in which I’m involved, which I’m helping to promote, which I hope to attend, or which I would attend if I could.
