I've commented on EQDaily on how I love your perspective in this story. It's not often someone takes a really good look at the dance and club culture like this and comes to an informed and well thought out conclusion.
If only every party like this in our world was filled with more magic and less danger. I would go to them way more often.
Oh, and I'm glad that Applejack stayed grounded for the most part. It was a good move to have a central character out of the action, so to speak, for the other characters to wildly rotate around. Or something like that...
Anyway, great story.
