Description:	Zvents allows people to find out about local events going on in a particular metro-area. It acts as a search engine (searchable by event, date, and geographic area) where you can search for specific things to do or just browse categories of local events. Besides local events, Zvents also provides local information about movies, venues, and restaurants. Zvents is free and can be used without signing up for an account, but registered members have the ability to join groups to share event information with others and also add events to the site. Since the site was originally founded to provide information about local events in the Bay Area, it is most comprehensive for Bay Area local events. However, Zvents is expanding its database by city and currently has a lot of information for events going on in other major US metropolitan areas as well.
