[EventCalendar] Option to Show Selected Events as Normal Blog Entries Too?

[Dr. Peter Troxler]

what I typically end up doing is not checking the "keep events  
separate" and then configuring the loop (or each loop, depending on  
theme) so it does or does not display using the in_category() tag  
(http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/in_category)
