I've been away from my computer so sorry for the delayed response. My

Yes I am thinking of a traditional calendar where "today" would be
highlighted and people could enter brief descriptions that would likely
contain a link to more detailed information. The "month at a glance" type
concept that many organizers and PIMs use.

I envision that something like you have above would be referenced from a
calendar page.
I am looking for something I could reference fairly quickly to see if there
are any LEGO events going on when I am on the road. I subscribe to a
several of the local groups but my experience is that many of them do not
generate a lot of traffic and events are passed along randomly.
This might be a bit of an exageration but it seems kind of silly to post to
lugnet.general something like "I will be in XYZ city next week, anything of
interest going on? I checked lugnet.us.abc.xyz and there hasn't been any
traffic in two months!". A couple of years ago I played around with a Perl
CGI calendaring system that was an example in one of the Nutshell books. It
addressed a problem we had at the time and was easy to set up.
Just an idea ...
