Hey, sorry for delay, I was smoking a lot of pot when I was a teenager, and so I went there already self-conscious and kind of anxious and the music was so loud and you couldn't talk to your friends and everybody was checking everybody out, so I found it kind of stressful and would end up drinking too much; so it was far from ideal. But I did have fun with my friends, madcap fun, and we enjoyed the dancing. Simultaneously overstimulating and kind of boring at times is one way of describing it (long answer)
