We did our best to keep this as self-explanatory as we can. Any field with a red asterisk next to it is mandatory and all that's needed to submit a local event, but we encourage you to fill out as much information as you can to help with search filtering. Try to make titles unique and catchy as it's the first thing visitors will see when viewing the event calendar. Please avoid placing venue names in the title as well. Where the event is taking place will be listed already, so there's no need to list it twice. When inserting a date, please check recurring if it happens every day, week, or month. If the event does in fact repeat, you will then be asked to put how many times it does. The default setting will be "-1", which means it repeats indefinitely. Simply change that if it there's a limit on how often that event reoccurs. After an event is created, you are able to update each of the same fields in case you made a mistake or something changes prior to the event taking place.

Again, only fields with red asterisks are required (name, city, state), but the more information you provide, the better. We assume you've attended the venues you're creating, so we have simple checkboxes available for you to list any or all of the amenities the establishment has to offer. Google is always a good resource to find information about a local club, bar, or venue that you may not know off the top of your head. Other users will be able to help with additional facts in order to complete the entry, so don't worry if you do not have all the information. Simply complete the necessary fields and get the venue listed in our directory - that's all we can ask!

Information is key here at 2BlocksEast, so we have added the ability for you to rate cities and venues, tell us what you like and dislike about them, and let us know any aliases or nicknames they may go by. This information will be displayed at random when other community members visit that particular city or venues' profile. Please list only accurate information as abuse of these features may result in account suspension or termination. This data is meant to be fun and informative, especially for those unfamiliar with your particular area. Your opinions could be the determining factor in why they choose a certain venue while they're in town.

Simple...spread the word! We rely on you to help 2BlocksEast grow, so please invite your friends and family to the site any time you get the chance. All you have to do is insert the email address of the people you would like to invite to the site, add a personalized note (optional), and they'll receive the email in their inbox with links back to the site. You can also use the Add-This "Share" icons to spread the word on other popular sites and networks, including Digg, Myspace and Facebook.

Let others know you'll be attending events by using our RSVP feature. You can also comment on any listings and let others know your thoughts about upcoming and past events. When you click on a public event, you will find the areas to RSVP the event or leave a comment. Additionally, we allowed you to check "Anonymous" if you wish to keep your identity private when using these features. We understand that your ex's may visit the site and we do not want to allow them the convenience of stocking your every move, so simply check the box and they have no way of knowing you'll be there. That is, unless they just happen to show up anyway, which is another issue in itself and 2BlocksEast can not be held responsible. Your comment will be displayed and your RSVP will be tallied regardless of you checking the "Anonymous" box, but your name and profile will not be associated for the public to see.
