There doesn't seem to be a weighting or sticky option for such. I'd like to have my events module in the content since both my side columns will be for separate activities, each which relate to the center events (house parties on one side, meet-ups on the other)

Right now, my event calendar shows up below all of my content.

Being able to put blocks into the content area with specified weight could be extremely useful. For example it would also allow you to put a user-defined block on a taxonomy summary page, with a custom heading and a couple of paragraphs of description text.

I found no way of getting blocks anywhere other than at the bottom of the content, so I have added a new region to my theme called pre-content. This is relatively straightforward to achieve if you're game to get into 4.7 theming. What theme are you using?

I've played with colors and such, and probably will some more, but I'm not that good at design. It just has to be functional.

On a related note, is there a way to put two pre-content blocks next to each other?

That you can add a block to content is a good thing, but you will need to tweak the theme in the page.tpl.php or the css (both probably) to position the block where you want it. Working through it is on my to do list, but not for a bit due to workload.

I'm joining in on this conversation because I want to know how to fix this too. I've looked around in the template .tpl files and can't figure out what needs to be moved.
