I might be totally misunderstanding your example, but it seems you want to rank items by appropriacy and not just date of publication. In your example, the ranking depends on date of occurrence of event and not publication date. Did I read that right? If that's the only criteria, than you might be able to have a parse-able convention for notating date of event in your post title. And then, while parsing the two feeds, rank them by date of event (nearest to farthest away) prior to pumping out a single feed. Depending on what you have access to, it might be better to create the feed from scratch by querying up your blog and event databases rather then merging 2 pre-made feeds after-the-fact. Now I'm just rambling.
