"I loved it. I absolutely loved it. The vibe was just amazing. I need to follow them somewhere so that I can stay up to date for when their events takes place. This was just so much fun. I was on such a high for about an hour afterwards...oh, and I'm joining them, once a week is all my schedule allows, but I need this goodness and happiness in my life. "
