What stage of release is this in? Are there any significant changes coming up?
In particular, I don't see any attempt to prevent spam. I'm not even talking about purely bot-generated spam - I mean, I just submitted that "Ghandi Christ" (email [email protected]) will not be coming to the following event:
http://mobaganda.com/rev2party
Which I found on google.
I don't really know/see how you can fix this problem. As I noted, captchas won't work.
On a completely unrelated note, I also really long for search and the ability to make an event "searchable/unsearchable".

THAT BEING SAID, I think this is a really wonderful idea. If you can get it to "work" without sacrificing any simplicity I will definitely be using this.
Anyway, these are some random guy's first impressions. Good luck, yo!

I realize this as a potential problem.. but then again, who would look for random events and rsvp to them... besides the slew of Techcrunch commenters that spammed the event mentioned in the TC article with javascript hacks :) (which are now being detected and disabled)
Bot spam is a different creature, and I have some measures to prevent against it, with more coming soon.
I wonder if there's a way to not let Google index it? Something about the robots file maybe?

The design, the simplicity of use and the philosophy (no registration/login/etc.) are all spot on.
Oops, should have left the url out of the submission, meant for discussion... my apologies.
sup stirman!
i take back what i said about mobaganda at YH btw... it was a stupid, uneducated first impression, without actually exploring or using the service.

Thanks evdawg, no need to take it back... I bet many people shared your initial impression. Criticism help me grow these things :)
Certainly easy. What if I screw up the event date? Didn't see a way to correct or delete.
Good stuff. Google endorsed.
I love the looks. Especially the font
good work stirman!
Have the opportunity to take on some VC money to build it out a bit, a few hundred thousand, but am not sure if I should or not.
Thoughts? How would you monetize assuming great traction and viral growth?
