Well, when I do this query:
select to_days(now()) - to_days('2004122600');
I get -569, which is much less than 30, any date in the future will be
negative.
You may want to do this if you are looking for this style of query:
SELECT StartDate FROM Events
WHERE 0 = TO_DAYS(NOW()) -
Because now - a future date is a negative number, and therefore 30.

I don't think that's doing what you think it is. In math notation =
can be chained that way, but not in most programming languages.
0 = x = 30
is equivalent to
Aah, I stand corrected. Friday afternoon is not my best day to be
answering questions on here. ;)
