It looks like you've put a DEADLINE cookie on those events -- the
advance warning only kicks in in that case, if I recall correctly. For
plain old events (birthdays, doctors appointments, etc), it's often best
just to use a regular old timestamp, so:
* Rehearsal <2014-07-28 Mon>
Or you can put the timestamp on the line below the headline.
HTH,
Eric
