That will fail, as you discovered.  Any time you add to trigdate(),
or (to a lesser extent) subtract from it, you are breaking the Zen of
Remind and you'll get completely unpredictable results.

How about this:

REM Fri 1 Sep --7 MSG Event 2%
REM Sat 2 Sep --7 MSG Event 2%

Let Remind do the work... no need for SATISFY or manual adjustments
of trigdate.

David.
