I like the concept. However the city selector violates a basic and longstanding 
guideline of interaction design: Drop-down lists - and list boxes in general - 
should not initiate actions. There should be a push button beside the drop-down 
to initiate the view-calendar action for the selected city. Even in this 
simple, 2-input-field interface, I am frustrated because keyboard navigation 
won't allow me to browse the options before choosing one and navigating to the 
next page. Simple, yet so often violated on the web.
