Processing by EventsController#create as HTML

  Parameters: {"utf8"=>"✓", "authenticity_token"=>"JannWb1XCE12AKW4KlR56LAAmIOG1raHJh1ss4v0RBA=", "event"=>{"name"=>"", "from_date(1i)"=>"2014", "from_date(2i)"=>"11", "from_date(3i)"=>"19", "to_date(1i)"=>"2014", "to_date(2i)"=>"11", "to_date(3i)"=>"19"}, "commit"=>"Create"}

 --> 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.
