Perhaps it's not possible as to the timely nature of various events....but I would find the "what's up for the weekend" feature much more useful if it was published earlier in the week (Wednesday?).
It would give me and the family time to plan and my last rss feed check is usually Friday around lunch time....so I seem to catch the weekend blog posts on Monday morning (cursing myself for missing so many cool events). Regardless - thanks for all the good reads!
