 * Where would I change the date and time format in the core files? Reason being,
   I am using json/js to pull the events post type. Changing format is easily done
   with shortcode on the site, but I need to change the core format for my mobile
   app.
 * I appreciate it.
 * thanks

 * Why exactly do you want to change the format and to what format? Do you need 
   to change the format in which the dates are stored in the database? The current
   default format is yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss. I could make it easy for you to change
   the database format if that’s what you need.
 * Could you maybe use the current format and just change it after you have pulled
   the event posts? I may be a little off the track here, as I am not very familiar
   with JSON myself.
