[Events] There is a website called upcoming.org that is effectively an open source calendar. It works a bit like other websites such as del.ic.ious and flickr, that use tagging to link particular themes, in this case, it links those themes through events.

There are so many food and wine related events that it's quite tough to keep track of them - so this is my attempt. I've organised a group on the site called Global Grub and stuck in some events I've been able to find. This will only work if people add their own and join up.

Whether it's full-on food fairs, local food festivals, conferences etc etc. Also if you join it will stop me feeling like billy no-mates. The site is particularly good, because you can add some events that are public for all and sundry to see, and others that only registered members can see. So for example I put in a dinner hosted by the forum Opinionated About as private - it can't be viewed by all - but other things, like a Slow Food event, is public. It's worth taking a look.

edited to clarify that this is aimed at real world events, I'm not recommending competition for IMBB.
