[0:39] Looks good too.
[0:42] Big crowd.
[0:42] A big crowd.
[0:43] A crowd and very responsive and enthusiastic.

[0:49] Every time you get down there for a year, it's been crowded.
[0:55] A year and a half.
[0:55] Very responsive.
[1:00] Very.

[2:12] Yeah.
[2:12] You're all, you're all set up wrong.
[2:12] I don't think we're going to do anything.
[2:13] I don't think we're going to do anything.

[2:25] We're not announcing that.
[2:26] We're not announcing that.
