I've got to, sorry, just because we started a little late, I'm going to have only like a couple more minutes.
Okay, and I only have a couple more questions.
Okay, perfect.
How did you go about identifying local businesses and or MWBEs to procure the goods or services from?

But again, we did not have a ton of.
procurement on that as we worked a lot with production agencies who have put on mega events before.
So like a Live Nation or a Global Citizen who have done events in the city before.
Gotcha.
And who's that consultant?
What company?
Her name was Tiffany Townsend.
Okay.
