What's up everybody? My name is Ian Martin Allison. I'm here doing another special solo episode. I'm not going to disparage it and be like, B-Squod. Because that's not how I really feel. I'm going to propose that it is a special episode of the podcast, solo podcast.

Check it out.

Look, this is going to come out way later than I record it.

But we just finished this unbelievable event called BaseSpace 2022.

Hopefully you were there.

If you're not there, I think you can go online and still have access to the recordings if you're an SBL member or you become one. But it was ambitious and it was super incredible. It was three days. We did it over July 15, 16, 17, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. The whole team crushed it.

But Lydia on the team, shout out to you, Lydia. Holy crap. Pulling the whole thing together was insane.

Shout out to Nick, too, who organized so many artists.

Nah, but see, stupid.

I start to name names, and then people are going to feel left out.

Just those are the only names I'm going to name other than Scott to tell you that it was

unbelievable. We even had merch made. I mean, is your boy drinking a delicious hot cup of coffee

out of the Base Space 22 mug? Now, look, if you're just listening to the pod, you're not

seeing this unbelievable mug, my new favorite mug. I'm holding it to the screen.

Yeah, I am.

You're checking it out.

Base Base 2022.

Oh, I got a hot cup of coffee.

It's hot in Minneapolis, but I still like to drink hot coffee.

And I'm sorry for all of you that are grossed out by slurping sounds.

I won't do it again.

Also, hold on.
