All-in-One Event Calendar: How do you display the event date?

I want something like this to show up: Jan 29 Mon 2-9 pm

I can't use ?php echo $event-get_timespan_html(); ? as it would display something like "July 13, 2013 @ 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm."

I also tried

?php echo date_i18n( 'M', $timestamp, true ) ?
?php echo date_i18n( 'j', $timestamp, true ) ?
?php echo date_i18n( 'D', $timestamp, true ) ?
?php echo $event-get_start_time(); ? – ?php echo $event-get_end_time(); ?

but for some reason it only displays Jan 1 Thu 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm instead of the correct event information.

Help?
