Community
As of 2008, the overwhelming majority of users and events are located in North America, particularly among fans of independent music, web technologists, or the San Francisco Bay Area generally. However, Upcoming users can be found almost anywhere on the globe, often submitting event data in their local language. Upcoming is fully capable of storing and searching multilingual content, although the site supports only a US-English interface.

Famous quotes containing the word community:
“... no community where more than one-half of the adults are disfranchised and otherwise incapacitated by law and custom, can be free from great vices. Purity is inconsistent with slavery.”
—Tennessee Claflin (1846–1923)
“Jesus, Buddha, Mahommed, great as each may be, their highest comfort given to the sorrowful is a cordial introduction into another’s woe. Sorrow’s the great community in which all men born of woman are members at one time or another.”
—Sean O’Casey (1884–1964)
“The community has no bribe that will tempt a wise man.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
