   1. An Event is a content type for informing your audience about upcoming events they may want to know about. These show on the calendar. They appear by most currently upcoming event first, and are removed automatically from the public list after they're finished.
      *Old events are never deleted, so please keep in mind to make sure these Events are properly dated.
   2. Usage: Use events for public lectures, important dates, cool events you want to promote, and anything "dated" that won't end up being permanent.
