0:00.0	I'm pulling my driveway. We all know what that means. It's time for the drive to work.
0:05.0	Okay, so last time I talked about a trip I took recently with my daughter Rachel to BroadwayCon.
0:13.0	And one of the things, I got halfway through it last time, so this is the second part.
0:18.0	One of the things that's really interesting is it is fun to go somewhere in which you get to see very passion people, in passion people,
0:28.4	who are just, they care about something different than what I'm used to.
0:31.5	You know, it's not, you know, I obviously have been around a lot of magic fans.
0:35.8	But this was like interesting to go somewhere where I'm seeing a different dynamic, but

1:34.8	dress up like Bell, more power to you, have fun. But if you're older than that, you can't.
1:39.4	And the reason is they have people who dress up professionally and they don't want any confusion.
1:43.9	They don't want someone seeing someone dressed up like Bell and think that, oh, that's the Disney employee
1:48.5	who's Bell, because they're very rigorous on sort of how their characters act and stuff. And so
