How can I limit a list based on a custom date field I a trying to display a simple event listing. I set up a custom date field called eventDate to note when the event happens.

This code delivers me the list of events sorted by eventDate:

 {% for event in craft.entries.find({section: 'events', order: 'eventDate'}) %}
    &lt;a class="eventSummary" href="{{ event.url }}"&gt;
        &lt;span class="date"&gt;{{ event.eventDate }}&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;span class="eventTitle"&gt;{{ event.title }}&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;/a&gt;
{% endfor %}


However, I want to omit events whose eventDate falls before the current date/time. If it were an entry date I guess I'd just use "after", but I am not sure how to apply that to a custom date field.

Any help is appreciated.
Actually you should be able to specify your custom field as part of the chained element criteria:

{% set currentAndFutureEvents = craft.entries.section('events').eventDate('&gt;= ' ~ now).order('eventDate DESC') %}
