festival. I think we were here last year. Always a lot of fun when we come down here. And we are now

inside of a theater because of the rain, Billy. We were going to be outside on the streets. Looks like

the weather's not cooperating. So we are in a dimly lit bell theater right now. I feel like I should be up here quoting Shakespeare or maybe doing like a play for you. Were you ever in a play? Do you know any Shakespeare? I don't, but I was the sound guy for Romeo and Juliet back in high school. So I made sure all the microphones worked and nobody cussed into them. So, but yeah, it's nice to be in this beautiful theater, Bell Theater. We were outside it last year. Now we're inside. So come hang out with us. I made the drive this morning through the rain. You were, uh, what do you stayed overnight at Pine Mountain State Resort Park. Beautiful, beautiful area. Like if you live out here, you probably take the mountains and everything just for granted because that's what you're used to.

Yeah. state resort park beautiful beautiful area like if you live out here you probably take the
