        I like that I can add the events I RSVP yes to, to Google calendar, but I cannot DELETE the event if I change my RSVP. Why is that? I have changed my RSVPs to NO to a few events and they are still showing up on Google calendar. And I cannot delete them manually. It's really annoying. And now I cannot find a way to change the setting in Meetup to stop adding my YES RSVPs automatically. So what was a very cool feature is now a huge nuisance.

        Also, for me at least, google calendar integration is broken. When I click the add to Google calendar link it takes me to a google new account page that says theres already an account with this name (!duh - it's mine!..) Maybe something to do with Google for domains?

        I would have thought this would have been addressed already, but I guess not.
        When exporting an event to Google calendar please include ALL the event text. As it works now, I have to pre-copy the text, export, then paste the text into the appointment. Very irritating considering that it should have worked from the beginning, and it is an simple fix.
        Thanks.

        This is a really annoying quirk with the google calendar integration. When ever I say export to calendar > Google Calendar, I have to copy and paste the location myself. Can you please fix that?

        As for the 'all event details', a link to the event is put in the description so that you can always find it. But putting the all the event details in there might be helpful for people without smart phones, I guess. Then again, what if it's just really a lot? I'm sort of ambivalent about that one.

        But you guys definitely need to have better integration with Google calendar.

        Thanks!

        This sounds like two distinct ideas, is that right, David? I vote yes for both...
