Simple question, I think, but it has me stumped. I'm wondering what
variable controls the org-agenda function that gives you upcoming
events, a la:
todo: In 2 d.: TODO Friend's Birthday
todo: In 4 d.: TODO Rehearsal
todo: In 4 d.: TODO Happy Hour
todo: In 9 d.: TODO Some other thing
I'd like to get rid of all of that, actually. For me, it clutters things
up too much.
Thank you!

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

Eric, thank you, yes, that did it.
