How Do I show advanced Date filters for Events?

Question

I am trying to setup an events section similar to that of Yelp's Events. They have a listing of all the upcoming events and have filters on the side for "Today, Tomorrow" etc...

I received help from Brandon Kelly and will be posting my answer below.

Answer 1

Thanks to Brandon Kelly's help I now have Events being filtered by my custom date field called eventDate by doing the following:

{% set day = date(craft.request.getSegment(2)) %}
{% set nextDay = day|date_modify('+1 day') %}
{% set events = craft.entries.eventDate('and, >= '~day|date('Y-m-d')~', <'~nextDay|date('Y-m-d')) %}

I have some links in my side bar that append the appropriate Date to the URL:

<a href="{{ url('events/'~now|date('Y-m-d')) }}">Today</a>
<a href="{{ url('events/'~nextDay|date('Y-m-d')) }}">Tomorrow</a>

And finally I just loop that through like so:

{% for block in events %}{% endfor %}

I hope someone else can find this as handy as I did through Brandon's help!
