Wait, box. Okay. Hey, hey, what's going on? It's good to see you. We're together in real life

for the first time for these chats face to face live and in the flash

we actually set up both computers so that we could keep this interview style

on the screen but we're actually together so those watching you can see me in

next few those very similar artwork behind each of us.

For those listening on podcast, just imagine that I just leaned over into Nick's square on screen.

Right.

So it's neat to be able to do one of these face-to-face because we see each other face-to-face like so rarely just a couple of times a year. It's true, yeah. It is. It's great. I mean, actually, these online meetings have been a good way for me to feel connected with you as if we're face-to-face. But it's always something better to be actually live as well.

Right.

Which is part of the reason why we do, we started doing this FM to go series where we are

traveling around the country to different towns that, where readers want to basically host us for a few hours.

This weekend we are in Minneapolis.

We previously did San Diego and in early September we're doing the Bay Area near San Francisco.

It's a great way to reconnect with readers or connect for the first time with readers.

And really, we do it because it's fun.

We enjoy the excitement of it.

And so far, so far so good, at least in San Diego, people really responded well.

And I think we're going to have a similar great turnout tomorrow, I mean, this afternoon. Right, right. I'm excited about it. I think it's going to be a lot of fun. I always look forward to meeting people, getting a chance to talk face to face. It's always fun when you get a group of people that are into this together too, because it's one of those hobbies that many of us share, but not necessarily with a lot of the people

in our social circles.

So cool to have a room full of people
