Best widgetevar!Thank you thank you thank you!Seriously, even though I get out almost every night, I am into obscure and more cutting edge acts that play smaller venues and don't get much press, so it can be hard to keep up on all the bands I'm into and who's playing where and when. I had a huge list of happenings pop up in 10 seconds flat and this has just made planning my nights so much easier, and my nights so much cooler. Now If I could only find a way to get this to groove with iCal so I could sync it via bluetooth to my cell for access while I'm out and about. I mean hell, meet a chick at a bar and say hey "x band is playing at club z right now, let's jet" .. that would be the ultimate.

i do believe you meant to say the label profits off the cd, and they don't need money anyways.

I as well. Doesn't work for me.Maybe all my music is too old or obscure so none of the artists are touring :)

It's the same for me on my 12inch 1.5 G4 Powerbook. I'm in Australia though, so it doesn't look like it would work for me anyway. Cool idea though.
