The event was a great idea; however, its execution was poorly planned. Most vendors ran out of wine 1.5 hrs into the event. The lines for the food, wine, and chocolate weren't set up well which resulted in a really long line that most people waited patiently in; however, after awhile several people just started cutting into the front of the line. Again the event as a great idea, but I hope they will take some notes to improve for next year's event.

This was a really fun event. It was the first year so there were some glitches- such as long lines for food and wine, and then they ran out of food very early in the event.
