[EventCalendar] Show next event on front page

[Alf Haakon Lund]

Thank you very much!

The two loops absolutely does the trick. A few unexpected side effects  
because of my settings (i made a tweak to EC to show multiple category  
posts on the front page even if EC says "hide", so I got some double  
postings - easily fixed, though!), but now I'm ready to rock with loops.
