What the GP said about how often people travel:

> Then drop in this hard truth - recreational travel isn't actually all that commonplace amongst average people. The average joe goes on one or two major vacations in their entire life.

is similar to what sama said about why his local startup (Loopt) failed[0]:

> Most people are too boring I think--they're at the same places most of the time.

Man, I've been wanting one of those for years. Even just searching for interesting concerts is a tedious chore on most sites. The lack of anything like this means I basically have a few favorite local venues, and I try to keep up with their programs. It's really not ideal.

There is a small site that maintains an event calendar for my city, oriented towards a certain subculture. That's by far the best thing I've seen for discovering new things to do.

I don't know if there's an actual business model in any of this. That's definitely the hard part. But it would be such a useful resource.
