So, I didn't have a lot to do at work today, and I've come up with a new project to work on. The idea is for a concert calendar mashup with Google maps showing shows at my favorite venues. I'm using the last.fm web services api to get information about shows because it seems to have the most comprehensive list that is easily accessible (I'd love to get it from Stomp and Stammer, but they don't even have a RSS feed for their concert list).
So far, I've gotten a script to load the information about the shows into a database, and some basic work on the map done. I'll keep my progress posted on the blog and you can follow how it's going over at my site. Feel free to let me know what you think, or give me ideas for features.

When you get done, you should turn it into a Facebook application.
The user supplies a zip code, town, etc. (maybe defaults to their present location or hometown when none is selected) and it will do the same for all the concerts and venues in the range of the choice.
You could contact venues and ask for tickets to give away or ask for money for advertising as well.
