What's on, and how far it actually is
What's happening around the US, framed by real drive time from a nearby city. "Nearby" runs up to about five hours, because that's genuinely how it's used out here.

What's on
Every hours-from-a-city figure is a real door-to-door driving estimate, not a straight line: Jackson Hole is about 1.5 hours from Idaho Falls, Durango a little over 3 from Denver, Sedona under 2 from Phoenix. Traffic moves it around, so treat it as a planning estimate. Full details, festival dates and nearby restaurants included, are on the Happening hub.
How FOG fits in

Questions people actually ask
Is a 5-hour drive really "nearby"?
By the standard of a country this size, it's a normal weekend-trip radius. That gap is most of the joke.
How accurate are the drive times?
Real door-to-door driving estimates from the named city, not straight-line distance. Traffic moves the real number around on the day.
