Hanging out in the theatre!! Let’s get this show started!!!

I will be lurking around for info about next year. They got it up pretty early last year. We bought our tickets in December or January, I think! Hope you ladies are having fun!!!

So I just got back from the showcase and it was lovely. However, I am starting to feel very left out of the expo and I do not know how to address this. In purchasing our expo pass we also got access to the after party that involved meeting some of the performers tonight. And as a minor I cannot attend. However I paid for this in my ticket… It is very discouraging, not only that I cannot attend something I paid for, but that the meet and mingle before the showcase was surrounded by bars and alcohol and drinks, and that the event being held afterwards is not inclusive of ALL of the dancers who have paid a lot of money to come out and enjoy themselves. I already had plans to come next year but to be honest I am feeling as if it is a waste which is unfortunate because I’d like to benefit from the knowledge here. I understand that it is Vegas… But they really don’t include anyone (in the more social things) who is under 21 or who would rather not be surrounded by drinking. I emailed fawnia before I flew out here and I was informed the after party (as well as pole a palooza) is 21+ and that I cannot attend unless a fake I’d is acquired. I don’t know… I’ve just come back to my room feeling really rejected and un included, and a little peeved, that so much of this event involved things I cannot partake in and that so much of the commentary was specific to drinking and partying which I cannot do. It made me feel like that if I wasn’t doing all these things I am seriously missing out…. And I am. If anyone has advice on how to handle this situation, I really would like it. Really don’t want to be feeling this way while I’m supposed to be enjoying a vacation. (If this should be moved please let me know.)

Yeah. That is a tough one. We all had to wait till we were 21 to get in places and drink the koolaide. Maybe there should be a different ticket at a lower rate for people attending under 21.
-
That’s what I was thinking… I wouldn’t care as much if I didn’t pay for it. But right now (and regardless of the rest of the expo) I do not feel like I have gotten my money’s worth. I’m not upset that I cannot drink, just that they made the after party impossible for those who cannot. Unless this is remedied I feel like my money is better spent elsewhere. I feel incredibly rejected by a community that is supposed to make you feel welcomed, and instead of coming to my room inspired and wanting to improve, I just want to curl away from everything and not return. This has left a very sour taste in my mouth and I am incredibly disappointed.

Okay, I have scrolled here but can’t find info for lunch. Are there details? I will keep checking, I dont have an updated phone to keep checking online. Glitterhips has my cell number. I carpooled with others, so depending on where it is will determine for me. I wanna meet veneers! Here is my cell if you wanna text in case not able for lunch. Will you be joining for lunch, V?
