Translating Webmaster/RSS feed into Spanish

OK... let's see if we can figure out what we need to translate. A typical listing in the feed would resemble this (not a real concert listing):
3-16-2004 PETRA in Sheboygan, WI
Then the detail is:
Sheboygan - March 16, 2004 7:00 PM - First Baptist Church (click for more information)
Sometimes the time ("7:00 PM") will be replaced by "(showtime TBA)". The way I see it, the things we would need to alter would be:
The grammar of the first sentence;
The format of the dates and times, if target countries do them differently (and I don't believe I can easily deliver the month names in anything but English, so we might have to use numeric months there too);
The phrases "showtime TBA" and "click for more information".
I may be able to deliver month names based on another language, but by default they are determined by the language of the computer the Web site is on. Anyway... who has a translation for me?
ok

Hehe... OK, start off by translating the two phrases in bold. Then give me a short equivalent to the phrase "showtime TBA" - TBA stands for "To Be Announced" meaning that we don't know it yet.
ok

Horario por ser anunciado.
OR Horario por anunciarse.
About da name of da church, I think you should keep the original name in english and maybe, but only optional, you might put it in spanish, but I think it would be easier to people to investigate the name of the concert place if they know the "original" name ya know.
If you need any translation job, let me know

MICHAEL: You might think "AGH, elo used a lot of words!!!" in spanish we need more words for saying something that maybe in english would need only a few.We use a lot of articles, prepositions blablabla and if we take some it won`t sound gramatically correct ya know.

OK guys, check it out:
http://www.johnschlitt.net/rss/webmaste ... ge=Spanish
The page is not in Spanish, but if you click any of the "Click for sample" links they are. I'm not sure if I want to go to the trouble of translating the page itself into Spanish, although I'll bet Sue will want to.

hehehe... whatever and however you guys want it!
You know me... the more languages the better, but since I can't speak anything but English (and a little German), it's up to you all!
Oh - I forgot! I can say TACO BELL!!!!
(hehehee... remember that one, Elo?!)
hehehehe
