And the only reason I'm going to be there tonight is I want to make sure that nobody comes off the street and our hostess says, oh, we're membership only.

And we have to be respectful of our members.

And we're going to have that. We're definitely going to have that. But we've been fortunate where we've got a lot of applications. And right now we're only approving referrals.
