I need this too, for folk sessions which are on similar dates. Try
this:

<?php
//set up what you want e.g. 1st Friday
$frequency=1;
$day="Fri";

$count=0;

for($j=7;$j<13;$j++){
$found=false;
$count=0;
for($i=1;$i<31;$i++){
$stamp=mktime( 0, 0, 0, $j, $i, 2006);
if( date("D",$stamp)==$day){
$count++;
if($count==$frequency &&
$stamp>strtotime('now')){
$found=true;
}
}
if($found){
echo date("D F d",$stamp)."<br>";
$found=false;
}
}
}

?>

I need to work on it a little more because some events are of the form,
last friday, which can be either the 4th or 5th Friday in the month.
