The Straight Outta Lynwood tour is just about to get underway. For the last tour, I created a Concert Finder page where you could enter in your zipcode and out popped a list of upcoming shows and how far away each one was. Well, now it’s time for an upgrade!

Ladies and gentlemen… I present to you the new and improved
Yankovic! Concert Finder 2.0 Beta

Simply enter in your zipcode (or city, or street, or even country if you like) and the map will center on that, and list out the concerts by distance.

I use Upcoming.org to keep track of all the concert info. It looks like a great place to find others who are going, show off any pictures you took, leave comments, etc… Click on the show in the map to go to that specific event on Upcoming.org.

Thanks to wonders of AJAX, and Yahoo javascript libraries, and all that jazz, you can now visually see how far away all the shows are. Yay! And just like all the other Web 2.0 sites, it’s released in Beta, which means… um… well, it’s just Beta, that’s all.

Well, check it out and lemme know what features you’d like to see, comments, suggestions, that kinda stuff. Enjoy!
