Nice.  I was wanting to do something very close to this awhile back.  Of 
course the above code is more useful in the context of a function, 
something like the below-- which has something missing.  What?

(setq ddd "2013-02-11.tail")  ;Want to remove tail on string also

(defun ddd
(format-time-string "%A, %B %d, %Y"
    (apply 'encode-time 0 0 0
	  (nthcdr 3 (parse-time-string ddd)))))
