Only by making a little loop for the day that starts at 12 midnight
and checks e.g. every 10 minutes:

There is another way to do that but you must have internet connection. I use it in my task which sent SMS to clients on 9:30 AM when calendar appoinment has word private and has telephone number. *I must notice that the idea and below text is from Chris.*
(This is your private Google Calendar feed and ofcourse Username and the ****'s are replaced by your unique value. To get this URL go to Calendar settings, Calendars, and click on the calendar you want- on the bottom you will find your private XML address You must replace the "basic" at the end of the URL with "full singleevents=true&futureevents=true&orderby=starttime&sortorder=ascending&m ax- results=1" because you only want the next event and you want them sorted a specific way etc.(You can of course tweak this as you wish)) ======================================================================
We just had a group project to do this a feww weeks ago, the message thread was titled "Read Google Calendar" if I remember correctly. It got pretty entailed and I'm still tweaking all day events but it works well. There are several example profiles posted to the thread that will give you a basis to work off of. I have mine reading the calendar every morning and sending several text messages based on the days events to various people.
In summary, that thread almost exclusively covers the method of pulling and parsing data from Google via HTTP. If you wish to bypass use of the internet for this task, that thread won't be of much value to you.
