Concert Locator
The Concert Locator now has a neat little feature allowing you to easily sort the list of concerts by distance, date, venue, city, state, or zip without having to load a new page. (All done with the magic of javascript.) You’ll probably find sorting just by distance or date to be the most useful, but hey the others are freebies.
(Sorting capability slightly modified from the sorttable javascript library.)
