Do you want to put something at the bottom or what?

Well the customer wanted to make it not so tall vertically because he
knows some folks will want to print them.

ok well is there a way to display only Today's Items using a calendar
webpart, but displaying in just a list?

A calendar is just a view  of a list.

Create another (filtered) view.

Is there a way to display a Multi Event Calendar? That is a a way to
combine 2 views or route 2 event lists. Only documentation I've found
refers to next version of SPS.
We're using SPS2003 still.

Have a look at this.
