Alec,
the Mysterious part of this mystery is the "controller" called with a
parameter....in web2py land that is not really a controller, but just a
helper method. in your case event_page() returns it's value to the d()
method (which web2py does think is a controller), and then web2py execution
continues....so it's in the d() method before return from it that you must
customize the view.
anthony's answer is spot on....i was just hoping to unravel the mystery
slightly. :)
