MySQL SELECT using INTERVAL

[skyrice]

Hi there. I have a table that lists events along with their start time in a DATETIME field and their duration in two INT fields, one for hours and one for minutes. I'm trying to SELECT any events in this table that are happening in the future or are currently in progress. What I'm trying to do makes more sense if you look at this SQL query I'm making, but it doesn't work because it's not correct. How can I reform this query to do what I need? Thanks in advance.

SELECT * FROM events
WHERE date >= NOW() + INTERVAL events.hours HOUR + INVERVAL events.minutes MINUTE;
