Opening Remarks, Tuesday: Breaking Ground

All right, good morning. Besides Las Vegas, day two, which is really strange to say on a Tuesday. Day two is not a Tuesday thing, but uh really glad to see you all here. Um this is the part of the conference where usually I sit here and say, "Hey, uh here's all the really important announcements that you need to know about today and all the things that have gone wrong and what we've done to adjust." And equally strange, I don't actually have any big problems that we need to work around for today. So, let's put your hands together for that or give me some snaps or something cuz this has been kind of crazy. I I'm I'm amazed

that everything is on an even keel. Uh the one thing that we are still uh potentially reacting to developing situations, monitor the website and so forth is uh the air quality issue that we had. So, uh, we are hoping, uh, so far things are looking fine for the evening's events, but, uh, if things get really bad, we will potentially have to move some things inside again. Uh, stay tuned, stay posted. We will, uh, let you know what we know as soon as we know it. Um, what I thought I'd do, since we don't have a bunch of crazy bad things to, uh, tell you how we're going to make everything better, I would actually like

to hear what's been going good for you folks. Like what's your favorite thing so far? Is there anybody here who's got something they want to talk about that they really enjoyed on the extra day that we had on Monday here? No. Yes. Oh, all the way. Yeah. Come on, man.

Was it just uh the something that you did was this something you hadn't really thought of before, hadn't heard of, or like was it the the reference to the history that you hadn't seen or what? >> Um, I think it was just a really cool look into like thread intelligence and stuff and it also reminded me of like, you know, my um teenage years. So, like, you know, >> Oh, really? >> since co basically, right? So, yeah. >> You you've been a naughty boy. >> Uh, I mean, [laughter] I just graduated high school, man.
