The second screenshot was to show that everything looks fine within the edit window.  Just noticed the same date is showing up in the upcoming list at the top as well.

The views don't display the date inside the event box, only the time is displayed. For some unknown reason "Jan 1, 99" is appended to each time string in your setup. For example in the event list above the calendar view you see the correct date string + the correct time string + "Jan 1, 99". 

I recommend that you check the time format settings of your operating system. (But don't ask me how to do this for Mac OS X.)

Thanks, 
for other afflicted with the same situation the change for Mac OS X is to go to the International Control Panel and remove the date from the Times format section.
