ScottsEvents >About

Why?	I missed seeing my favorite Irish band, the Chieftians, because I did not know they were here. That was frustrating. I put on a weekly waltz dance. A woman tsaid to me, "I wish I knew about this dance a long time ago!" That also was frustrating. I felt that there were other people who missed desired activities because they did not know about them. I was sure there were other event producers who have the same problems I had in effectively reaching their potential audience. So I created ScottsEvents which lists all San Francisco Bay Area events.
Philosophy	1. List all events. 2. Make it fast 3. Make it easy to use. 4. People are smart: they can figure stuff out for themselves. 5. Do it better than anyone else. 6. Use Craigslist and Google as guiding websites.
What is an event?	An Event is a leisure, recreational, entertainment, social, spiritual, hobby, commercial, civic or professional activity that has a time, place, specific purpose, intermittent frequency, and is publicly available. Events are sports activities, fairs, symphony, opera, ballet, movies, theatre, expos, conventions, musical concerts, dances, garage sales, antique show, pet show, and reunions, expositions and conventions, and TV listings. Examples of activities which are NOT Events: traditional retail store, school opening and closings, private events, commercial or civic openings, or any commercial or civic activity which is regular, long term, repeated activity on a year long daily basis. Any event that requires membership outside of admission fee is not considered an event for listing on ScottsEvents.
Advanced Search	1. multiple word search multiple 2. selection criteria (dates, cities, categories) 3. emailed list of events on selected frequency (daily, weekly, monthly) 4. multiple selection options by event attractions/performers/artists
How events get on ScottsEvents	We add new events two ways: 1) our staff enters the events and 2) event producers, event venue manager, groups, performers, and artists enters their own event. We encourage everyone to enter their own events.
Submit your event for free	You are welcome to add your event to our list. The process is very easy. Just click on the "Submit your events for free" option link on the main page. This will lead you to event entry pages. Each page will ask for event title, event description, event date range and date repeatabilty, event locations, event contacts, and event "attractions". Free, no cost to enter events.
Subscribe	While all the basic searching for events is free, some people want to have additional services, which are available under our subscription services.

Also, with your specified events, you may opt to have your parameters automatically enabled when logging on, so that the listings are displayed when first entering ScottsEvents.
