Upcoming gets more events, and all new homepages, search results and event details pages.

A big shout out to our founder Leonard Lin, who is rocking the Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco this week with his new Upcoming-powered application called Fireball. Plus some shiny new ways to attend or watch an event on Upcoming. Read on!

For part 2 of this week's "Thanks for the Suggestion" installment it's just like the title says. You can now upload flyers & photos with your event including a special call-out for an offical photo.

It's been a while since we blogged about anything new at Upcoming. But it's not for lack of stuff to talk about, we've just been a little busy tuning up our robots. We're always happy to hear from you, so this week I'm going to focus on some features we've recently added in response to the suggestions we get everyday on our Suggestion Board. I'd like to start with one of my personal favorites, which enables the event creator to send a note to everyone who is watching or attending the event.

Call us nostalgic. We like looking back at what you've been up to over the last year, since we added the capability to tag Flickr photos with a special Upcoming tag. You've been to so many good parties, festivals, and concerts that are worth remembering. Want to take a look for yourself?

We've had a busy couple of months recently. With our noses to the grindstone, first we streamlined our search results, making it even easier to find local events on Upcoming. Then we refined Yahoo! Search with our local events, featuring your favorites on Upcoming nationwide:

Ahoy! Today be the fourth birthday of Upcomin', so we want'd to wish sincere thanks to all ye scallywags.

Over the past few years, we keep hearing from people trying to paste RSS feeds into XML parsers that they want to get events back in chronological order.

With meteors showering streaks of light across our night sky, it's high time to take off for the weekend. Some Upcomers are already planning a camp out in Washington for a chance to spot these star-bursts.

Our dear robot has some special news for us...

People use Upcoming to organize all kinds of parties. Last night, a bunch of Upcomers orbited the London Underground in protest. They were condemning an injunction by BAA that seeks to ban people from traveling on the Underground's Piccadilly line, on mainline trains, and on motorways while the Camp for Climate Action takes place at Heathrow Airport from August 14 through 21. Though BAA insists the ruling is for the "safety of passengers," environmental campaigners claim this is a case of "corporate bullying designed to shut down peaceful protest." [BBC News]

You could probably chart my identity search in the screen names I've picked over the years. Some people, though, can stick by the most peculiar names forever. If you've been waiting for a way to change your screen name, we're happy to announce the feature is here!

What's happening on Upcoming? In Denmark, we watched you roaming the muddy fields of the Roskilde Festival; and in Los Angeles, the Flight of the Conchords sang you their folk songs of comedy. So many of you stuck around for a MOO's Hot Summer Party in London, while we here in the SF Bay Area traveled far and wide to witness the blazes of the Fire Arts Festival.
