Ok, after reading chapter 28, I changed my DefinePlayerEvent() to this:
void DefinePlayerEvent( lua_State* vm )
{	
	luaL_newmetatable( vm, "Event.mt" );

	lua_pushstring( vm, "log" );
	lua_pushcclosure( vm, l_event_log, 0 );
	lua_settable( vm, -3 );

	lua_pushstring( vm, "__index" );
	lua_pushvalue( vm, -2 );
	lua_pushvalue( vm, -2 );
	lua_settable( vm, -3 );
}

and it works!  Thanks, I'll keep reading.
