The Facebook workaround : message five to ten friends a day and ask them to invite people to that event. Have all other participants do the same. You have to nag, the kids these days think putting up a Facebook event is work*.
The long term workaround: build your email list. Unpopular truth: if the service is free than you are the product being sold. It's a struggle, FB keeps the illusion of convenience, since "everybody's on it all the time". But when someone offers to do the work for you, there's usually a cost . . .
