Grid based event results page

Grid based event results page:

One thing i would really love to see in easy social is a grid based results display for events. Ideally this display would remove the description text and just display the event title on top of the event image. In my view this makes much better use of screen space while also making the upcoming events display much more visually attractive. An additional thing which blew my mind on the "socialengineaddons events addon" was the ability to display upcoming events in a grid style by geolocation, it’s a nice touch.

Here are two link's which will show you what i'm talking about:

socialengineaddons, advanced events demo: Social engine addons

meetup.com: Meetup (enter easysocial in search box; toggle any distance in distance dropdown and select the groups button to get the same results as i was seeing)

My questions are:

1: Would i be able to custom code the events page to display upcoming events in grid style like in the above examples? Is this possible?
2: If it is possible could you give me a broad overview of what I would need to get done in order to achieve my goal creating of a grid based events results page?

Thanks. Dane
