here is a snippit I modified your code using Safari instead of Ical, it was easier to pull a webpage as a demo than an iCal doc ;

Code:

 try
	choose from list {"Prodcution", "201sa", "SS Meeting Room", "503ms"} with prompt " Choose a Calendar to Subscribe to"
	if the result is {"Prodcution"} then
		tell application "Safari"
			make new document at end of documents
			set URL of document 1 to "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Get_a_Clue/"
		end tell
		
	else if the result is {"201sa"} then
		tell application "Safari"
			make new document at end of documents
			set URL of document 1 to "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Get_a_Clue/"
		end tell
		
	else if the result is {"SS Meeting Room"} then
		display dialog " you eat f00"
		tell application "Safari"
			make new document at end of documents
			set URL of document 1 to "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Get_a_Clue/"
		end tell
		
	end if
on error errMsg number errorNumber
	display dialog "sumthin broke"
end try

NAME

       libquvi - Overview of query media library

DESCRIPTION

       libquvi is a cross-platform library for parsing flash media stream URLs with C API. The term "quvi" is a shorthand for "query video".

   API documentation
       <http://quvi.sourceforge.net/doc/>

   Motivation
       libquvi originates from the idea of allowing users to view the videos without having to install or use flash. It is a "workaround", not an
       "alternative" to flash.

       See also:
	<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Flash#Performance>
	<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Flash#Flash_client_security>
	<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Flash#Alternatives_to_Flash>

ENVIRONMENT

   LIBQUVI_SCRIPTSDIR
       Path to the libquvi-scripts directory. This overrides the libquvi default search paths for the scripts. See also the tutorial in the "API
       documentation".

   LIBQUVI_SHOW_SCANDIR
       If set, libquvi prints the lua script search paths to the stderr.

   LIBQUVI_SHOW_SCRIPT
       If set, the lua scripts found by libquvi are printed to the stderr.

	Home  : <http://quvi.sourceforge.net>
	gitweb: <http://repo.or.cz/w/libquvi.git>

LICENSE

       libquvi is free software, licensed under the LGPLv2.1+. The lua scripts that libquvi uses are considered as programs and using the lua
       scripts is linking.
