When making a date-based conditional request such as http://api.ticketevolution.com/offices?updated_at.gte=

what format should the date be in? I had been successfully using ISO 8601 formatting such as '2011-05-22T17:52:44-07:00' but that format seems unreliable some times. What date format should we be using?

  The API expects times and dates to be in ISO 8601 format.

  Do keep in mind, though, that event times are stored as UTC in the system but represent the local time zone for the event, so a timestamp like "2011-07-08T19:00Z" for a game at Yankee Stadium means 7:00 PM ET.
