(And preferably as detailed as the particular user wants.)Also I think it would be cool if you DID have a way to notify people in the area that you were running say a pickup game or something... Like if you had some free time and wanted to run a game at a store or something, you could toss out a notify message to either your "friend list" or gamers in the area at large saying game at x hour at x location.
