FullCalendar won't display db events
===

I have `FullCalendar` (version 1.5.1) working perfectly in a `.net` webform application.  I am trying to deploy version 1.5.3 in my new `asp.net-mvc` application.  For some reason, I cannot get the events to show when provided dynamically.

I have to have full control (color, border, attributes, etc) over each event and I am passing a `JSON` string with all the relevant details.  If I manually enter the `JSON` results into `events:` it displays as expected.  But when I try to dynamically set it, I get nothing.

For simple testing, I hard coded the start and end periods in the call for the data as described below:

    $.ajax({
        url: rootUrl + "../Schedule/GetCal?&start=1341129400&end=1344146400",
        type: 'POST'
    }).success(function(data){
        $('#calendar').fullCalendar({
            header: {
                left: 'prev,next today',
                center: 'title',
                right: 'month,basicWeek,basicDay'
            },
            titleFormat: { day: '' },
            defaultView: _thisView,
            events: [data]
        });

Below is the copied value for `data` from Chrome:

    "{id:"5BFAA9C3-9437-49B0-A657-5DA47CDEA409",projectId:"5BFAA9C3-9437-49B0-A657-5DA47CDEA409",title:"Orem City Parking Lot",start:"2012-07-11",end:"",allDay:"true",type:"goal",textColor:"white",backgroundColor:"green",borderColor:"black",crew:""},
     {id:"33910A42-C5F0-42FA-AB36-C315BDDAF964",projectId:"33910A42-C5F0-42FA-AB36-C315BDDAF964",title:"Thanksgiving Point - Buster",start:"2012-07-28",end:"",allDay:"true",type:"goal",textColor:"white",backgroundColor:"green",borderColor:"black",crew:""}"

If I take that same information and change the original call to the following:

        $.ajax({
        url: rootUrl + "../Schedule/GetCal?&start=1341129400&end=1344146400",
        type: 'POST'
    }).success(function(data){
        $('#calendar').fullCalendar({
            header: {
                left: 'prev,next today',
                center: 'title',
                right: 'month,basicWeek,basicDay'
            },
            titleFormat: { day: '' },
            defaultView: _thisView,
            events: [
               {id:"5BFAA9C3-9437-49B0-A657-5DA47CDEA409",projectId:"5BFAA9C3-9437-49B0-A657-5DA47CDEA409",title:"Orem City Parking Lot",start:"2012-07-11",end:"",allDay:"true",type:"goal",textColor:"white",backgroundColor:"green",borderColor:"black",crew:""},
               {id:"33910A42-C5F0-42FA-AB36-C315BDDAF964",projectId:"33910A42-C5F0-42FA-AB36-C315BDDAF964",title:"Thanksgiving Point - Buster",start:"2012-07-28",end:"",allDay:"true",type:"goal",textColor:"white",backgroundColor:"green",borderColor:"black",crew:""}
            ]
        });

Everything displays as expected.  

Why does it work when manually set, but not dynamically set?  What am I missing?
