Comments.Text: you may also want to clarify what a 'table host' means to you. why not create a custom field for 'events' and use a Contact Reference field so you can actually link to a contact in your db?

  "Source" is available in the reports as of Civi 4.7.2: see [CRM-18042](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-18042).
  
  So one option is to upgrade to Civi 4.7. Another option is to backport the patch, which is a lot less work than a custom report. I'd give it a 95% chance that you can simply insert [the lines from the patch](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/7811/files) into the appropriate file on 4.6 and it'll just work.
