Mann ?

After lots of pilfering about and sifting through every page, I came up with this:

<ul>
<?php query_posts('&post_type=tribe_events&posts_per_page=5'); ?>
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<li>
<?php $startdate = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_EventStartDate', true); $db = $startdate; $timestamp = strtotime($db); ?>

<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php if ($startdate == date('l, j F')) { echo '<strong>Today:</strong>'; } ?> <?php the_title(); ?></a><br />
<?php if ($startdate == date('l, j F')) { echo ''; } else { echo ''; echo date("l, j F", $timestamp); echo '<br />'; } ?>
<small><?php $excerpt = strip_tags(get_the_excerpt()); echo $excerpt; ?></small></li>

<?php endwhile; else: ?>

<li>No events scheduled.</li>

<?php endif; wp_reset_query(); ?>
	</ul>

Not as elegant as anything on the tribe website, but as long as this lovely plugin is working, I’m a happy Mann.
