How do you change the url that is linked on the “Attend” button to be external one?

Please follow these instructions:

$meta_boxes[] = array(
        'id' => 'event_details',
        'title' => 'Event Details',
        'pages' => array('event'),
        'fields' => array(
                array(
                        'name'          => 'Location',
                        'id'            => $prefix . 'location',
                        'desc'          => '',
                        'type'          => 'text',
                        'std'           => ''
                ),
                array(
                        'name'          => 'Venue',
                        'id'            => $prefix . 'venue',
                        'desc'          => '',
                        'type'          => 'text',
                        'std'           => ''
                ),
                array(
                        'name'          => 'Start Date',
                        'id'            => $prefix . 'start_date',

                        'id'            => $prefix . 'time',
                        'desc'          => '',
                        'type'          => 'time',
                        'std'           => ''
                ),

5. find this line

		<p><a href="<?php tb_write_link('tb_page_contact') ?>?msgSubject=<?php echo $post->ID; ?>">Attend...</a></p>

and change it to read:
