I am running WP2.0.4 with Event Calendar 3.1._pre11

On the event category page, I was hoping to show the title and date of
the event. Right now, it shows the title and date that the event was
posted.

Here is a link to the events category: etherwork.net/blog/?cat=4
The linked page shows titles of the various upcoming events. This
is the coding:

------------------------------
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
<small>(<?php the_date(); ?>)</small>
---------------------------------------

that produces the following:
.......................
Title of the Event  (posted: Date that the Event was posted)
.......................

What I would like to display instead is the Title and Date of the
event as well as the date that the event was posted. (Actually, I'd
love to exclude the last part for the event category but have a very
tenuous grasp - ie: virtually none - of php coding). I'm guessing that
non-event category pages will ignore any php coding for the time
schedule and will simply show the title and the date for each post in
the non-event categories. 

How should I alter the following coding on my archive page to
achieve the desired effect?

.................................
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
<small>- <?php NO_IDEA_WHAT_GOES_HERE(); ?> (<?php the_date();
?>)</small>
...........................

I guessed wrong with "ec3_get_schedule();" and "ec3_schedule();"

Please put me out of my misery. Thank you.

P.S. The real reason I would like to do this is for another wp that I
maintain that has many many events in the event category. (That
particular wp2.0.4 still uses eventcalendar 3.0.4)
