Tired of Missing Out?

✗

Finding out about amazing events AFTER they've passed – that sinking FOMO when your friends share photos from the festival you missed

✗

Checking multiple sites just to stay updated – Eventbrite, Facebook, local news – it's exhausting and time-consuming

✗

Getting irrelevant event spam that doesn't match your interests – like endless kids' activities when you crave adult concerts

✗

Missing festivals and shows you would have loved because life got in the way and updates slipped through the cracks
