You can do that by editing date_print_format in the config file. See 
http://code.google.com/p/googlecl/wiki/ConfigurationOptions. Set that option to 
"%b %d %H:%M %Y" to get the example output you want.

Granted, it's not obvious how to do that. How do you think the documentation 
could be improved to make this ability more obvious?

I propose to add the year by default. I think it is quiet dangerous to have a 
date without the year.

I propose to allow passing the date_print_format as an option to the "calendar" 
command and document it. So it would be possible to use:
$ google calendar list --date_print_format="%m %d %H"
to have the previous behavior.

Had this problem as well.   A single recurring monthly event created about 350 
lines many of which appeared to be duplicates since not done by date.

Also, Dates should be RFC-3339 compliant, but include day of week.  
 date +"%a %Y-%m-%d %H:%M"
Tue 2013-07-23 04:00 ... 05:00

Also need to be able to filter calendar entrys by date including easy methods 
for 1 week or 1 month.
