Notes
NOTE #1: These cities are not in alphabetical order. To get an alphabetical listing, go to a shell command line and type:
grep "city: " city-info.txt |sort
NOTE #2: The "ping" field is only for cities where you are an expert on that city. You should probably only be listed for pinging about one or two cities - three at the most. The "ping" field is not for staying informed about all events which are in your language area or which are reachable by train.
NOTE #3: Consider using http://www.openstreetmap.org/ to show where venues are. There is a "permalink" link in the bottom right hand corner of the map, or to make an image, use the "export" button.
