Event Organizer Set Date formate to include written day of week

Figured it out.

The following shortcode will list events like this:

Upcoming events with a linked title on Saturday, June 15, 2013. Venue.
EXCERPT

[eo_events showpastevents=false] <a href="%event_url%">%event_title%</a> on %start{l, F j, Y}%. %event_venue% %event_excerpt{30}%[/eo_events]

I also made a template to do this with some additional features. For the first (x) top events this will show the full content, custom class, and a featured image.
The shortcode:

[eo_events showpastevents=false]

The template:

<?php global $eo_event_loop,$eo_event_loop_args;

//Date % Time format for events
//Custom date format to display like this: Saturday, May 10, 2013.
$date_format = 'l, F j, Y';
$time_format = get_option('time_format');

//The list ID / classes
$id = $eo_event_loop_args['id'];
$classes = $eo_event_loop_args['class'];

?>

<?php if( $eo_event_loop->have_posts() ): ?>

	<ul id="<?php echo esc_attr($id);?>" class="<?php echo esc_attr($classes);?>" > 

		<?php while( $eo_event_loop->have_posts() ): $eo_event_loop->the_post(); ?>
		<?php
		//Count how many times the loop has gone around too use for adding 'content' to first entry.
		$counter++;
		?>
			<?php
				//Generate HTML classes for this event
				$eo_event_classes = eo_get_event_classes(); 

				//For non-all-day events, include time format
				$format = ( eo_is_all_day() ? $date_format : $date_format.' '.$time_format );
			?>

			<li class="<?php echo esc_attr(implode(' ',$eo_event_classes));
			//add custom class 'up-and-coming' to the desired number of events.
			if($counter < 2) :  echo (' up-and-coming') ; endif;
			?>" >
				<a href=
                "<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>" >
           		<?php the_title();?>
                </a>
                 <?php echo __('on','eventorganiser') . ' '.eo_get_the_start($format); ?>
                <?php //If it has one, display the thumbnail
				if (has_post_thumbnail())
				{ ?>
                <a href=
                "<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
            	<?php the_post_thumbnail('thumbnail', array('class'=>'img-up-coming'))?>
                </a>
				<?php
				}
				?>
			</li>
	<?php // Conditional output to show full content for desired number of events and regular bullet list for the rest, or uncomment the else stement to use the excerpt. 

 	if($counter < 2) : the_content();
	//else:  the_excerpt();
	    endif; ?>
		<?php endwhile; ?>

	</ul>

<?php elseif( ! empty($eo_event_loop_args['no_events']) ): ?>

	<ul id="<?php echo esc_attr($id);?>" class="<?php echo esc_attr($classes);?>" >
		<li class="eo-no-events" > <?php echo $eo_event_loop_args['no_events']; ?> </li>
	</ul>

<?php endif; ?>

… and a little css:

li.up-and-coming{
	font-size: 18px;
	margin-bottom: 10px;
	font-weight: bolder;
	list-style-type: square;
}
li.up-and-coming a{clear:left;}
#content .img-up-coming {margin-top:10px;}
li.eo-event-future{clear:left}

oops, that added images to all events.
Here’s the fix:
`<?php //If it has one, display the thumbnail for first (x) posts.
if($counter < 3) : if (has_post_thumbnail())
{ ?>
<a href=
“<?php the_permalink(); ?>”>
<?php the_post_thumbnail(‘thumbnail’, array(‘class’=>’img-up-coming’))?>
</a>
<?php
} endif;
?> `
