Yes, totally. I thought that WP_Query was just for posts and pages.. but it seems from your code that it’s actually able to specify a different post type. I have the author information being retrieved no problem; I’m using it to populate a few other things on the page right now.. so I can just take that and extend it into the example code you provided. So, is getting the categories associated with an event the same as getting the categories associated with a post? I might still want to explore the categories idea so I can have N:1 authors to events.. meaning I have created categories that match with author names, so the author (or branch) of “northeast”, has a category of “northeast”.
So, my events list is, in psuedocode:

$authorname = current_author_page_owner
get 5 closest upcoming events where any category = authorname
display those events

Is getting the categories for a particular event pretty trivial?

Thanks for your help in this.
