Inviting gaming journalists to cover an event may be a great idea, if the journalist understands 2 cents of what games and gaming is about. Brendan clearly doesn't, as so many others. It was a poor choice, made by some one who does not understand how gaming journalism works.

So I will leave this suggestion, next time try to invite some one that covers gaming news for living, but it is also passionate about video games. On the top of my head 3 names come to mind YONGYEA, SKILL UP or PRETTY GOOD GAMING. This guys are independent, honest, have a reputation and, if they like what they see, they will put their souls into promoting it.

Any of those and so many others would have been a much better choice than Brendan, who was incredibly unprofessional. Revealing lack of knowledge about the venue, the game and the community.
