lol, good point :). Here is the reasoning behind the slanted text:

I wanted an easy way for the user to be able to scan the events
in a sequential way. If the text is placed horizontally and stacked
it is hard to tell the order, if it is horosontal and spaced out it
forces the user to do a lot of scrolling to see more events and get
a "big picture", and if the text is completely vertical its impossible
to read.

I will look into reducing the slant as much as possible, but I am
wide open to suggestions on another solution.
