No, hang on. Let's start over. Oh my god. All right, I'm ready. I think the show is fantastic. It's busy. People are happy. Oh, it's great. It's great to be in the industry. You know, there's two shows that are out there and we've decided that this is our place to come. Yeah, as an exhibitor, it's great. It's a ton of fun. It's really well organized. Pretty good. Staying busy, so can't complain. It's like Susan and Brian do a really good job of giving us stuff to do. Whether it's the JC Giri party, the Homeland Vinyl party, the strip night, they do a really good job of keeping people together and giving them structure. I think it's the best one yet. It's in Vegas. It's warm. I like warm. Traffic's good. The food's good. It's nice to be all in one roof and not have to go anywhere. So, I think it's a good venue. They really take care of the exhibitors. There's always coffee. There's food. There's a snacks for us. We are excited to be a part of this cuz we believe that it's going to continue to grow. If left to their own devices, vendors can miss out on a lot of client time. Most people will just be off doing stuff on the strip. If they're keeping them occupied, it gives us a better platform to interact with them. It's been great. We've had a lot of traffic. It's super fun with all the different characters walking around. So, yeah, it's been a good show for us. It's been good this week. You know, it has. They're not, you know, nickeling and dimeming us for for everything. So, we really enjoy it. We did it the very first year. Uh, obviously, this is year three now and gotten better every year. So, give credit where credit's due. Big supporter of it. We'll always support it. Um, and we're and we're happy to be here and happy to be part of it, too.
