I wrote Hip.ly last Thursday because it's something I've wanted for a long time and I needed a break from my startup. I wrote a blog post about why I did it here:

I included San Jose to make it relevant for my distant friends out there. I was surprised how many cool shows are coming up... in the surrounding area...

Real cool idea. Can't wait until there are more venues added.

Zachster... did we actually meet last Friday at the Founder Institute event at Microsoft Silicon Valley?

During the "speed dating" exercise, somebody pitched me this same concept. I remember it sounding like a good idea.

Haha... no... this is the first "missed connections" I've gotten on HN.

It's kind of an obvious idea, I guess. But I haven't seen anything that let's you listen to the bands playing nearby.

I'm not sure how much potential there is here for a business. I go into some of that on my blog.

I just used Hip.ly to find a great venue for a show and drinks tonight. I didn't realize you could actually preview bands by venue/date but I that feature is fabulous. This is exactly what avid concert goers need to keep track of shows in the city. Nice work!
