 * I would like to pull the date of an event with jQuery, so I can display the numerical
   date on top of a background div.
 * Anyone know how I can pull the numerical date from the full timestamp that is
   being returned?
 * Eventually, I would like to pull the entire timestamp and manipulate it with 
   jQuery.
 * Thank you.

 * a future version of the plugin is likely to have some data attributes in the 
   calendar template elements with timestamps and you could have your script to 
   read them
 * you can have a look here but it’s currently a beta not safe to use in your live
   sites: [https://github.com/moonstonemedia/WP-Google-Calendar-Events/tree/refactor](https://github.com/moonstonemedia/WP-Google-Calendar-Events/tree/refactor)
 * but I can’t assure about their portability… at some point would like to output
   calendar data using the json REST API – that would be more reliable to use
