If a person is interested in finding out about various local and nearby events (speeches, concerts, comedies, rallies, book signings, etc) aside from [eventful.com](http://eventful.com) and [meetup.com](http://meetup.com), are there other sites that are good for that kind of thing? I haven’t found many sites that have a central list of all the events, info like that is usually spread by word of mouth or by small ad campaigns (flyers, etc).

There needs to be a site like facebook devoted to that.

Does your city have an alternative weekly? Ours, the Tucson Weekly, has a [whole section](http://www.tucsonweekly.com/tucson/cityweek/Section?oid=1063710) devoted to the events of the week around town, and can be read online for free.
