Legit Reivews had nothing to do with picking the venue where this event was held at. Any concerns about the venue location should be directed at the fine folks over at War Factory. The Legit Workshop was held BEFORE the wedding party arrived, so I must point out that you are wrong in your post about people running on the stairs DURING a wedding ceramony as that did not happen. I do share your concern about people getting hurt though. Legit Reviews did run this specific contest past the War Factory staff before the day of the LAN and no concerns were made and it was given the nod.
When doing hardware workshops for the first time the knowledge of the audience is unknown. Hince why I asked contest questions such as "What does the XMS in Corsair's XMS memory stand for?" or "Does anyone know the clock speed for the fastest Intel CPU?". I tried to do a mix of fun contests, the random draw out of a hat, benchmark contest, and enter if you want it drawings. I thought we had a very good selection of contests for the event.
In the end I hope that you walked away on a positive outlook on the workshop. I mean damn, LR gave got out $2000 worth of free stuff and you can't really screw up giving stuff away. No one will ever be happy and all Legit Reviews was trying to do was have fun, educate on hardware, and give free stuff out.
Yes, the KC hall was a Warfactory chosen spot and LR had nothing to do with that. We will not be going back there again because it for one was to far away from the city and that chicken grease was gonna kill me ;)
As for the turnout, I know most had a great time because I usually hear from a lot of people via PM or IRC how bad things were. I havent heard a thing! Sweet! The workshop was a very welcome change of pace from just being a LAN drone and I for one was very happy seeing how people are willing to destroy thier rigs for new hardware, do pushups, and run into a womens restroom for toilet paper). Nice!
