just a suggestion-
but how about an events section?
[like we now have general stuff, and BS, how about General stuff, BS, and Events?
but events section is split, so folk only see events that apply to them, ie UK folk only see UK events?
then US folk won't get fed up of reading about UK sessions and festivals.

Then again loads of folk are travelling to different countries now, ie UK folk are going to Getaway etc, and US folk are visiting UK for sessions and festivals.
