Didn't really work for London. I live about an hour away but am fine with going to London when there's startup events. The 5 events shown in London are all either joke pages, local bar quizes or people's private events (Birthday Parties).

If you sign in with your Facebook account, the events that you are connected with will be added to our DB, drastically improving your results.

This is really cool, a nice style touch would be to be able to see what happening "this week" or "this weekend". If you sign in and your facebook event is set to private or closed does it aggregate it?

We only aggregate public events. Our goal is to build a great event discovery application that leverages the massive number of events on Facebook.

I like this a lot! Not a fan of how you handle clicking on the pin icons, though; Google Maps uses those pins to open information in a bubble within the window, and having my click open a Facebook page bothered me. It's a shame that your map conveys no useful data except by opening new windows/tabs; possibly consider an interface that loads that FB data in a frame, possibly from the mobile site to conserve space?

If you log in with Facebook, a window will actually display on mouse-over that gives the basic event info. It's a bug that we're currently working to fix.

Actually, that's already a feature! In the bottom left you can specify a date range.

Good to know. Best of luck with this if you decide to keep developing it; I really like the concept behind it.
