Meetup.com

Meetup is a special case. While iCalendar feeds are available for each individual group, Meeup.com no longer publishes an aggregate iCalendar of upcoming events for all groups a user has subscribed to. Instead, only RSVP'd events show in an aggregate iCalendar feed.

This cries out for an independent iCalendar aggregator application...
