Get room...if your family is not around your age. You have to respect their place so I would not want to get in late. I went to Charlotte for the CIAA tournament a few months ago.

Below is the link I use to find events in Charlotte.
Executive Entertainment - See The Latest Happenings
At Parties...Dance all night or Stand on the wall & observe?
