Well, we have a couple more minutes, so I would love to kind of ask Sandy just about I know you have your hands in a 1,000,000 things all the time, So if you would just kind of give us a little update about what you've been doing or what you are going to be doing first I want to thank all of you guys for being here. I really Justus excited as you are, I promise you. In fact, it was hard. We had a great selection of people to pick from. And I'll tell you why you guys all made it because you took the time to make videos. So that was really impressive. I thought you did a really great job, So thank you for taking the time and for your commitment to be here, because that's a big sacrifice that I know. It's last minute shopping for airlines and stuff. So thanks for that, as far as my schedule, I have a lot going on. I took a little time off this spring because we're doing some big changes. I know some of you follow me in watch RSP TV, and so you kind of know what's going on in the process of moving yet again. And we bought a different buildings, so we're starting to work on that transition. I needed some time for that, but this fall we're going back on tour. It's so far eight cities, we will be adding more cities, but there two shows there's going to be a free show which is called Sandy Push unplugged and it's more of a symposium. It'll be hundreds of photographers and will be pulling from the audience and having them talk and answer questions and be a part of more interactive than normal. And that is the first show. And then the following day is the hands on tour, which I know some of you have already been to the hands on tour. You guys know what that is? It's several photographers. You bring your cameras, you get to work right along with us. We use every type of lighting equipment, everything from strobes to continuous light to natural light. We've added a natural light segment to so the mornings will be natural light photography with all of the speakers very private classes, no more than 15 people. The evenings. It's the big 75 people, the big group. So hopefully we'll see you at one of the free events if not at the hands on tour, which will be a lot of fun as well. So that's kind of what we have coming up as faras touring andan just super excited to be here. This is going to be a pretty intense class, so I'm ready to get it started today. This is the heavy day. This is the one where I feel like is the brain drainer. If you could survive this day, the rest of it just becomes really a lot of fun. So we are looking for two and we are ready for you before we get started. I just want to say hello to our global audience out there. You guys are all chime in right now on the chat rooms and just want to give a couple shoutouts to Marie in in a Romanian who is joining us and Key Wa, who's joining from Derbyshire, UK and we also have photos by Calvin See joining from Australia.

Only had a chance to watch the last day and bought the program. Saw you speak in Chicago at WPPI and fell in love with your style of teaching and your love of photography. Could not wait for this program. Thank you.
