 * Not sure if this is an issue with the plugin itself or just how it functions 
   but the “date posted” is always set for the date of the event causing the future
   events to stay first in my main blog loop.
 * I need to be able to have the date posted as today for example but the event 
   date to be next month.

 * Howdy Graphik,
 * We had so many user request that we do it by the event start_date instead of 
   post_date that we eventually changed the default behavior. If you would like 
   to order by date posted instead, checkout this tutorial. Cheers!
