Shouldn't it be something like...

int l_event_new( lua_State* L )
{
    luaL_checkstr(L, 1);
    lua_newtable(L);                    // local obj = {}
    luaL_getmetatable(L, "Event.mt");   // setmetatable(obj, mt)
    lua_setmetatable(L, -2);
    lua_pushvalue(L, 1);                // obj.name = event_name
    lua_settable(L, -2, "name");
    return 1;                           // return obj
}
