I agree with you actually. It was a good time.

It was a fun event. As for substance, it wasn't to be found here. It was basically a night of entertainment. The substance is found in the panel discussions during the convention.

Sounds like a party – was there any discussions going on as per their Arab American identity. I feel like this convention lacks substance..

You seem not-so impressed. Personally, I had a great time. The comedians were funny, the performers were talented, the people were fun, and the music and dancing made for a good-relaxing atmosphere. Plus there were a lot of interesting people that I got to network with. I met one of the people who came representing the White House, and he was smart, intelligent, and had a lot of good things to say about the community and administration's efforts to reach out to Arab-Americans. While I haven't bought the Obama-hype, that did leave me interested in learning more. Overall, It think the evening was a success.

Oh yes. The dance parties are pretty popular at the ADC conventions. Actually, I think they're a big reason why a lot of young people attend the convention. That, and to find a future spouse, of course.
