If both events are bound to the same object, you can use the .data method:
var obj = $('#element')
.data('info',val)
.bind('click',do_something)
.bind('blur',something_else);
function do_something(e)
{
var el = $(this);
var info = el.data('info');
...
el.data('results',val2);
}
function something_else(e)
{
var el = $(this);
var info = el.data('info');
var results = el.data('results');
...
}
