Eventful

Eventful

Eventful isn't slick or hip, which is odd considering its partnership with MTV. Its music recommendations run mostly in the mainstream, but it casts a wider net than the rest by including sporting events, movies, theater, and kid-friendly stuff. If the question is more "What do I do with my Saturday?" than "What band do I see tonight?" then Eventful can come up with some useful ideas. It also has a feature called Demand It where you can declare your interest in having a band swing through to play your city. There's no guarantee it will work, but it's a fun idea.
