Or, like, Pride or something, like, similar.

Or, like, or when it's, like, Fourth of July on the Esplanade.

So getting to him was going to be tough.

So rather than try to fight the movement of the crowd, Brad and Brent figured it would be easier to just go in the direction of the bridge that led back to Texas.

And then they could all just meet there.

Yeah.

They figured, why wouldn't we all just do that?

Yeah, why not?

By that time, Mark had caught up with Bill.

And so they assumed that they would find their friends.

But as they neared the border, Mark told Bill to go ahead of him because he had to relieve himself, so he ducked behind a tree to do that.

A short time later, Bill met up with Brad and Brent, and the three of them were sitting around waiting for Mark, who they figured would emerge at any second.

But minutes passed, and he still wasn't showing up.

And eventually they started to get concerned.

By then nearly all the bars had closed and all of the tourists had flowed back over the border and there were still no signs of Mark.
