This will fix the issue of meetups dropping off the "current" list before they are done.
The change to make Django EST instead of UTC isn't required, but does make things consistent with the timezone the meetups actually occur in. Once this change is made, times in the database will have to be changed as they are currently being stored as UTC.
The view change adds a slack of 4 hours, since the list of current meetups uses the start time of the event to decide when it has passed, this adds 4 hours to "now" as slack. This means the server will continue to show the meetup is current for 4 hours after the start time of the meetup.
