• "I have amnesia. Well, not medically diagnosed amnesia. But show amnesia strikes right when I need to remember what is going on in the area. Now I have a way to battle my sonically induced amnesia: a website that I can keep track of shows I want to see." - davya24


• "At the first Upcoming event that I attended I met lots of podcasters who I hadn't met and I made some friends and started to work on a video podcast. It changed my life. I love the site because it's simple, it works and it's accurate." - chrisxero


• "In second grade, my best friend left my school to move to another city. I was crushed. Over the past twenty years, I've been looking for him and trying to figure out where he could be, but it was all to no avail. A few months ago, a coworker of mine (with whom I had sporadic contact through work) decided to throw a small get-together for people she had worked with, and set it up on Upcoming. Imagine my surprise when I arrived at the get-together only to find that my coworker's brother was my second grade best friend that I had been looking for for over twenty years! Thanks Upcoming for getting me back in touch with him." - vasta


• "Upcoming saved our magazine's life! We were publishing an events calendar for our boston area electronic music magazine, Sonic Heart, and it we spent way too much time making it work right. In a moment of brilliance I signed up for an Upcoming.org account and created a group, bostonelectronic, simultaneous to running our own calendar. More people bought in to the Upcoming calendar and in return we got more info we could publish in our magazine. Thanks Upcoming!" - erikmallinson


• "Thanks to upcoming.org, I've had all kinds of objects drawn or stamped on my hands after paying cover charges: * a chicken * a smiley face * a pair of boobs * a robot. Your efforts with upcoming.org have not gone down the drain, except for when I wash the stamps off my hands the following morning." - bneely


• "I love Upcoming because I think differently now about what the internet can do to bring people together. I quickly made unexpected friendships as soon as I started going to events I heard about through upcoming." - mpgomez
