# Feature request: initial_date=current_year

 * Use case: display the events for *this* year, by default.
 * It’d be nice if the initial_date shortcode option did not require one to hardcode
   the year number. Every year somebody has to remember to go in and change it. 
   Having an option to use the current year would be nice. Set it and forget it.
 * Using plugin 0.44 on WP 3.5.2.
 * Thanks
