Importing event attendees that are new contacts?

Is there anyway to get around the necessity to import event attendees first as new contacts and than as event attendees? The reason being that there are not contact fields in the event import function... The wiki directions say such. Seems cumbersome.

Unfortunately not :( You can write your own custom import for contact + participant using the API and/or the Migrate module (for drupal)

Import definitely needs a lot of love and care. If you / your company are willing to lead and spearhead this effort, that would be great
