Have you tried deleting the entire calendar rather than just events?

It uses the iCal calendars.  Now that you've used it, perhaps it's 
cleaned up whatever was bugging your iCal calendar and you can use iCal 
again?

I have it and use it.  Got it as part of one of those 10 app bundles, 
so it was a super cheap deal.  It wasn't the app that I'd actually 
bought the bundle for, so for me, it was effectively a freebie, and, I 
think, a win.

My experience so far is that I like it a lot better than iCal.
