Some people are frustrated
because they missed an event they would have attended if they
knew about it. Event producers are frustrated because they cannot
effectively
reach their audience. ScottsEvents solves these problems by
offering free listing and searching of ALL events in the San
Francisco Bay Area. Currently there are about 3,000 events listed weekly, with many more added every day. We expect eventually to have about 10,000 to 12,000 weekly events listed. ScottsEvents make searching for events very easy by comprehensive pull down search parameters for event category, event date range, and event location options. Searching is extremely quick. |
| Search Parameters | The main page allows you to make a search for events by selecting of one type of event category, for a date or range of date, for a region, locality, or zip code area. You may also enter a one word or phrase 'key words' instead of the selected category. This is a free service. You may create a list of events any number of times that you want. |
| Categories | There are 200 categories of events, with new categories being added constantly. Some typical categories are dancing of all kinds, music of all kinds, sports events of all kinds, live performances of all kinds, street fairs, exhibits,, clubs, benefits, shows, lectures, museums, kids events, opera, theatre, reunions, amusements, hobbies and many more. |

We list events for the following counties: San Fransisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Monterey, Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, and Sonoma. We will be adding more counties as more events are added. We have over 300 event locations from which to select. Event locations range from the broadly geographic, such as "North Bay", South Bay to the very specific, such as a zip code. We have listed all the zip codes in the bay area. |

ScottsEvents has some 450
options for date range. Typical date range selections are today,
tomorrow, day after tomorrow, this weekend, next weekend, through end
of next weekend. Also included as option are many holidays or key
calendar days, such as New Year's Eve. Christmas, July 4th, Mother's
Day, Father's day, and so on. We are adding unusual calendar days as we
discover them. Event producers, events venues, and event attractions
have the option of linking their event to any of the calendar days that
they want. We also include specific date going foward a year. |

History
of Scotts Events |
Hi, I am Scott. For a few years
I produced a monthly waltz dance, Friday Night Waltz along
with a couple of friends. Many people loved dancing at our events, but
were frustrated because they did not know about it for years. I too was
frustrated, as it was very difficult to get the word out to those
people who might be interested. After a while, I started making and
distributing via email a list, Scott's List of Waltz Events, of all
Waltz and Vintage dance events in the Bay area. The list became
Scott's Waltz Events then finally ScottsEvents. Well! The reaction was overwhelming! People wanted me to add their events in Los Angeles, San Diego, Seattle, Portland, Chicago, Phildelphia, New York, and many other places. Then people wanted me to add non waltz or vintage dance events, such as swing or latin dances. More requests to add dance performances, the local theatrical group, and on and on. The list got to be too big to manually add all these events by hand, so I started to automate the event entry process. The project just grew and grew to what you see now. As my previous job left me for Beijing, and I leave with it, I was doing the odd database jobs here and there, with lots of spare time. ScottsEvents just took over. |
