Great plugin; just one small feature request. Have something in the settings panel for a message you want displayed when no events are returned; something like "No Upcoming Events". This would then display in the widget rather than it just being blank.

This is what I did to get that working (be aware that I also modified the output format to meet my needs):

This is a great feature and one that I certainly plan to add in an upcoming release of the plugin. I'm hoping to have some time to dedicate to working on this sometime in the next few weeks. If you have any other input, feel free to post here, leave a comment on my blog or shoot me an email.
