During one of my my far too frequent visits to my local LEGO shop I had one of
the managers show me an article in the BrickJournal which they were carrying on
their shelves. I got really excited and blabbed on and on about how I knew Joe
etc. The majority of the employees there really didn't understand what they were
carrying or how to market it. I took the opportunity to purchase my copy (sorry
about not pre-ordering) and hopefully show them the value of this beautiful
publication. They definitely looked on it more favorable, and hopefully were
more excited about it.
Congrats Joe and staff, not only for coming this far, and for such an incredible
publication, but for your official recognition by LEGO proper!

Well, as someone living in the second largest country in the world I would have
no problem seeing all my compatriots events listed as being in Canada. The flags
(or whatever) would be a nice addition but for now it would improve the utility
without any hacks.
BTW, got my first print issue of Brick Journal this week and I will be showing
it off to my LUGmates tomorrow. The quality is fantastic.

Joe, Do a search for ISO 3166 -- those are the ISO-established 2-digit country
codes.

I originally thought about that, but there are some countries that are larger
than others that have provinces and states. I really want some country icons,
and I might do some hacking to see if it's possible.

If I may venture a suggestion: Make the colour scheme about the type of event
and shorten the "location" field to the two-letter country code (ie: us, ca, uk,
etc). The full address can be in the description field but it would not only
make it a lot easier to read but reduce the amount of space each listing takes
up on the calendar.
