I'm starting to get my head around node.js, and I'm trying to figure out how I would do normal MVC stuff. For example, here's a Django view that pulls two sets of records from the database, and sends them to be rendered in a template. 

def view(request):
    things1 = ThingsOne.objects.all()
    things2 = ThingsTwo.objects.all()
    render_to_response('template.html, {'things1': things1, 'things2': things2})

What might a similar node.js function look like?

http://boldr.net/mvc-stack-node-js-ejsgi-scylla-mustache is a great little article with a full github example of a MVC pattern using dirfferent Node modules. It also lists alternate modules currently available. It answered this question for me better than http://howtonode.org/ which has some good tuts but I couldn't find anything on MVC there.
