Remind does not provide advance warning in calendar mode or "next"
mode.  Why display warnings when upcoming events are already visible?  

If that's really the behavior you want, then you can schedule multiple
reminders for the same event:

  REM 20 September MSG Birthday of someone coming up
  REM 22 September MSG Birthday of someone
