So, there's no real way to "Automagically" get the data from the iCal event that launched your script, but here's how I do it:
set myCalendar to "calendar name"
tell application "iCal"
activate
set theEvent to the last event of calendar myCalendar
set theDescription to description of theEvent
set theDuration to (end date of theEvent) - (start date of theEvent)
set theTitle to name of theEvent
set theAttendee to display name of (first attendee of theEvent)
And so on.
Hope this helps,
-Josh
