Hi @kevinreilly

As long as your date field is saved with the default format (JS format = yymmdd), then you can compare the values like so:

<?php 

$today = date('Ymd');

$args = array (
    'post_type' => array('friday','saturday','sunday','special'),
    'meta_query' => array(
		array(
		    'key' 	=> 'publish_area',
		    'value'	=> 'left',
		),
		array(
	        'key'		=> 'start_date',
	        'compare'	=> '<=',
	        'value'		=> $today,
	    ),
	     array(
	        'key'		=> 'end_date',
	        'compare'	=> '>=',
	        'value'		=> $today,
	    )
    ),
);

?>

Please note this code is untested, but should explain how to do it!

Thanks
