And yet, event management in Facebook sucks. It's just where all the events are posted. Facebook isn't good at events because of event management. It's just because they aggregate all events. I consistently get invited to events in: New York, Montreal, San Francisco, Buenos Aires, London, and Berlin. This is by choice: If I visit one of those cities, I want to know what to do. But why can't I filter my events view so that I only see events nearby? Why do I have to have a clogged events feedback, because I want to know what's happening if I travel and don't want to hide invites certain event producers? (Also, event sharing features suck, if you're promoting an event. You have to use Javascript hacks to share, and only then you can share with everyone in one of your top two or three cities.)

They are not good at event discovery, maybe, but for setting things up between friends I've had no major issues (especially now that I can follow the wall of an event without RSVPing). I think your use case is very different from how most people use FB events. Though it would be nice to have good event discovery (and they probably have the data to do it).
