:-) knotty_mark and I spent quite a bit of time making sure that no light got in at all. I think we were pretty successful...
Your feedback on the rest of the experience is useful --- I've been going to these kind of parties for probably 7 years, so it's easy to forget what it's like on a first experience. I guess I should probably have a cheat sheet for new attendees or something...
Normally I'd recommend going downstairs with a friend or two for your first experience and hanging out with them. You can also just go downstairs and crawl around until you find someone or something to interact with. Massaging/cuddling is good, as is playing with some of the toys that were floating around, like the fur mittens.
I hope that overall you enjoyed yourself. I'll probably throw another one in October some time.
I'd hope it's obvious, but there's absolutely no pressure to actually go downstairs --- if you'd rather stay upstairs and socialize in the light, that's fine.
