Hey I think this is a great idea! In fact I am working on putting together something similar! The apps in the meetup space are so bad there is a lot of potential here for new platforms.

It is interesting that both you and the comments are focused on event discovery. I am looking at it from a different angle. I am looking for a platform that can keep a calendar of events and rsvps for already-established small nonprofits and community groups - like book clubs, board meetings, local political groups, etc. In my opinion there are lot of social networks that are doing a decent job of event discovery out there (as much as you can in our very fragmented world). The problem is organizing who is going to what without using Outlook, Google Calendar, etc. - also with better options for recurring events and notifications/reminders, and something non-tech-savvy people can use.
