While I think the Gig Guide has gotten off to a slightly better than expected start, obviously this is not the only game in town for learning about events and things that are going on. So I thought I would mention a few other options that I know about.

Hello everyone from Dave's ESL Cafe (from here). I appreciate the spike in traffic. And if some of you feel inspired to try out Korea's live music scene, so much the better.
One little quibble, though -- contrary to what was written in post No. 2, the concert listing did indeed ...

Okay, I know one of the Gig Guide's biggest problems has been that today's shows do not appear in the calendar. At 12:01 am each day, my database deletes the day's concerts. I have not figured out how to change the Gigpress plugin to fix that problem, but I do ...

This is a couple of weeks late (well, three weeks), but I just discovered Janis Ian's announcement that she was canceling her part in the Flower Power Peace Concert. And it is depressing:
The South Korean dates have been cancelled, for reasons too numerous to go into here, but among them ...
