So that was the coolest part of it for me.

It really is.

I mean, I just felt like I was the biggest shot in that building walking into that secured media room, by the way.

There was a security guard out there at all times.

At all times.

All those people.

all those personalities coming in and out.

I, I feel I fall for that person.

I really did.

It was interesting.

I'm glad you asked that because I do know a good amount of media members already.

But coming across more national people, coming across people that, again, knew of my work, knew who I was, and was excited to meet me was really, really cool.

I mean, that, again, shows me that they're maybe letting me into their world a little bit, which I know is a little...

It can be hard to get into, right?

I mean, you know that as a veteran media person.

Yeah.

And just, like, having people that have been on their beat for 15 years recognize my work, like, that means something.

So kind of being part of that family felt really good.

And in all honesty, I was thinking about that.

I'm like, okay, now everybody knows I'm not some lunatic online, which is great.
