Currently I'm not aware of any public events lists in other cities that are similar to the Squid List. I'm sure they exist. If I find out about any, I'll list them here. There are no guarantees with this list. All I can do is post the events and trust that what they say will happen will in fact take place, it's up to you to take the risk by attending.
Some events are amazing and others downright suck.
If I get a bunch of negative feedback about an event I probably will not post future events from the same producer. If you attend a list that is posted to The Squid List, it is at your own risk. Yes, check out our Squid Press page for articles written about The Squid List and Laughing Squid in general. Basically the list is a labor of love that I do in my free time. I've struggled with the possibilities of sponsorship, subscriptions, charging for posts, etc.
