I like the idea and I miss the blockbuster nights where you do go, we're gonna watch a movie tonight and you walk into a place and you've got all the covers.

I remember the VHS covers all lined up and you get to look at all of them and then pick, ooh, let's go over here.

Let's look at that.

You carry a few of them around with you.

Then you narrow it down.

I loved that.

That is very fun.

And then hearing Ryder talk about

Highland Grounds reminded me of my place when I was 18, 19, 20, 21 and going out was called the Coffee House.

And it was started.

Do you remember the Coffee House?

But the location is still there.

And it was started by Brent Bolthouse, who was one of the most like famous club promoters at the time.

And he had been sober for a very long time.

And one of the things that he remembers being hard for him about his sobriety is that people would always want to go to the clubs that were nearby.

And then when the clubs would end, everyone would go to after parties.

And he he's everything.

If you weren't going to go drink or do anything like that, he wanted a place that where you could go as a sober person and still have community and still hang out like that bar vibe, that bar vibe.

And so it had indoor outdoor space.

They used to do some events there where people could do, you know, spoken words.
