It really is fun.

If you guys haven't been to ATX, what's stopping you?

They've already announced a whole bunch of awesome things for this year's lineup,

including a whole thing, a whole conversation with Freeform about the sort of

shows they're doing and millennial programming. They got folks from Queen Sugar coming. They've got

folks from drunk history doing an interactive panel. The new audience network, Condor, based on

three days of the Condor, there's a TV show. And that's

going to be there. American woman, a whole bunch of really cool things. So that's the stuff

that's already announced. There's even more great stuff coming. Once again, it is June 7th through

10th in Austin, ATX atx festival.com to get badges which do it. You know, and I'm sorry. Please welcome your moderator.
