I've been doing some cleanup of some internal APIs lately with the goal to centralizing Tapestry's logic for generating and parsing component event and page render links. This will allow an application to override how that information is incorporated into the URL.
In your case, you could have a Dispatcher recognize the "/venue_name" part and then generate a PageRenderRequestParameters object and invoke the ComponentRequestHandler.handlePageRender() pipeline method. Note: I'm talking about 5.1 here!
