4. Event links pointing to non-existent events - Broken links in home.html and events.html

'you have slowly gotten worse and worse and worse over the course of the last month'
'i spent more time tonight calling you out for lying to me and waiting for you to fix the things you lied to me about than i did waiting for you to generate anything usable'
