--> why are my event date attributes nil/blank?
The date is not sent as a single attribute, but rather one per dropdown
that date_select sends (thus from_date(1i) etc).
When those attributes are assigned to your model, they are combined into a
single object by ActiveRecord.
You can either check for the subparts explicitly, or move the "default to
today" behavior to the model instead.
