Fourteen years in the making — after an acquisition by Yahoo, followed by its sunsetting years later — Upcoming is finally back, after a successful Kickstarter in 2015. Yes, I'm a little more than nostalgic to see Upcoming return, but this time I'm hopeful that @waxpancake will take the helm of the project, now that his other efforts are behind him, and bring back the central source for all events that are good and holy on the internet. Or if not holy, at least worth attending. It's about time. No, literally. It's an event site. 😁

@waxpancake @chrismessina So sad they got rid of that vintage brown header. Seriously though, the site looks kinda bland.

@waxpancake Is there a plan to also include online events for the platform?

Events by Facebook is my favorite app for discovering events, but it's more for social events within my network. Why isn't there a "Yelp for events" and why have others like Plancast failed in the past? Meetup might be the closest thing but it's more for community organization and I find discovery a mess. I have ideas but curious to hear other peoples' thoughts. cc @waxpancake @loic
