Public bug reported:

Signing up for an event is too long and non-obvious.

Currently after going to an event page, you have to click on a 'Register
for this event' link (not the best wording, how about a call to action
"I'm coming!"), then go to another page and change your 'attending
status' (which is a overtly formal and strange way to word that you're
going to an event), and the options are "attending", "might be
attending", "not attending". Saying "My attending status is attending"
is a convolunted and unfriendly way to say "I'm coming". It requires
extra mental effort on the users part to figure out that they have said
"I'm coming".

Also, in order to say that you're not coming, you need to click on the
link for 'register for this event', which one would assume is only used
for registering for an event.

I suggest something more like Facebook's event's pages. At an event
page, there should be a link/button that says "I'm coming". Clicking it
will sign the user up to the event. There should be no interstital page
to choose your attendance status. As well as a "I'm coming" button/link,
it should have a "I might attend" and "I'm not going"button/links with
similar functionality.
