I may be misunderstanding what you mean by events but what about just
using an agent and a multi-method?
(defmulti handle-event (fn [state event] (:type event)))
(defmethod handle-event :party [state event]
(assoc state :status :dancing))
(defmethod handle-event :explosion [state event]
(assoc state :status :cowering))
(def my-agent (agent {}))
(send my-agent handle-event {:type :party, :location :your-house})
@my-agent => {:status :dancing}
