Why are you not just saying event belongs_to venue (venue has_many
events)? Then you do not need to save the venue lat and long in the
event as they will be automatically available as event.venue.latitude
for example. If you do not know how to do this have a look at the
Rails Guide on ActiveRecord relationships.
