 Hi all. I am about to start writing an events listing application

Considering that you said "any", I can't screw-up by answering.

Besides the pygmy running around with red feet, you might find this of interest:

As mentioned previously, there are TIGER data, but that may be an overkill because you can build a entire Street Atlas type program from that (been there, done that) -- it contains a massive amount of data beside postal codes.
