Default Non-Holiday Important Dates
I'm hoping CP Nation can help me out with this...

Looking to find a list of non-holiday important dates. Things like the Oscars, Superbowl, BSD, etc. Things that wouldn't be on a regular calendar, but are important events throughout the year.

Oscars - Feb 22, 2009
Superbowl - First weekend in Feb.

Even things like Elvis' birthday would be awesome to post here.

So if you know a link, or one of these event days, post them here.

St. Patrick's Day - March 17 2009.

Not technically a holiday, but it should be.
