I think that's what his screenshot shows that he did.

This seems reasonable, but it may be more awkward to create all those 
pieces of content.

Patrick, if you can write a little PHP, you can overwrite a template 
file and hide any date field that doesn't match the current date. Look 
for a link on the views edit page for Theme Information (might be 
different depending on which versions you're using). You can read about 
how to do it at http://drupal.org/node/457740 (look for "Overriding a 
theme file").
