Name for events website

by nnyorker

I would like to start a community events website for my town with all types of happenings from...kids' sports clinics to snowmobile trail riding clubs to town board meeting dates to happy hour at the local hotspots. I want it to be an interactive community events website, so I will probably incorporate a social extension such as buddypress or jomsocial. Something more than the local events listing in the local newspaper. I really want to take it to the next level, where users can sell tickets to their events, etc.
I'm stuck on a "cool/happening" name for it. I don't want the same muldane.."eventsinmytown.com" I want something cool and hip that is really going to draw everyone - young to parents.
Any 'happening' name suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

    Is there anything that can be worked with from the actual name of your town? Can you share it with us?

        Just off the top of my head . . . (all are available)

        WaterlooView.com
        EventfulWaterloo.com
        ExperienceWaterloo.com
        WaterlooThingsToDo.com (my fav - most memorable IMO)

        Memorable is more important than "cool" or "happening."

        Stick with a dot com (nothing else). Commercial sites are meant for dot coms and if you ever sell your site, it is the most preferred extension.

        You can get a dot com at Godaddy right now for $2.99.

        Good luck to you,

        Steve
