meet ups

I am looking to start up a website more tailored towards Drupal Meet Ups. I currently have most of the base functionality ready to go and about 40% of the theme created but am just curious to see if anyone would find this useful?

I know G.D.O has an events functionality but this site looks to be more tailored just for events and will add in other features that may be useful.

Please let me know your thoughts.

BTW: I tried creating this with my existing D.O account (triversedesigns) but it kept bringing up the spam filter warning and would not let me post to anything. Weird.
