Fun with Google Maps

Future scenario: a reader finds a concert or venue on my new site. The address is listed, pictures of past shows appear.. all is good and fun. But wouldn't it be nice to know where exactly the venue can be found? It would!

Well, it looks like that's exactly what I'll be offering. Here's an example showing the local pub on a satellite/map hybrid view, generated using a .klm file I saved from Google Earth (and will be dynamically generating once I add coordinates for venues to the database).

Still needs some work (custom icons, more venues, a label for the venue selected, links to the venue page of other venues showing in the area).. but nonetheless I'm happy.
