You could always set up a Twitter account, and use one of the various 
Wordpress plugins to display the most recent $x posts from that feed; that 
way, you'd have your ephemeral events listed on the site, and also a Twitter 
RSS feed that people can follow if they want to thrown in.

Installing Wordpress to the root of your webspace, not in a folder, would be 
the easiest way.

The Wordpress admin interface makes it easy to edit themes - just click 
"Appearance", then "Editor" - easy as that! :)
