Yeah, I'm in like the nosebleed seats.

And I did hear gunshot.

loud gunshots and you have no idea.

Is it right outside the door?

Is it upstairs on a different floor?

You really don't know.

And all I'm thinking is, well, I'm right by the door.

Like I'm easy collateral damage.

And I had this moment of calm where I said, well, there's nothing I can do.

If this is my moment, this is my moment.

If it's not, I mean, I literally, this was all going through my head because what are you doing under the table?

And I thought, but if it's not,

How ironic.

We're here to celebrate free speech and a free press, and somebody wants to destroy that, and I'll never stop speaking up.

I mean, it sounds crazy that I was thinking about those things, but it was.

That is exactly what I was thinking.

At some point, it got quiet.

One woman who was at my table and I, we grabbed hands, and we just ran out the door, and we found a side door, and we spilled into an alley, and we just walked away.

and ran until it was quieter.

And we didn't know what happened because we couldn't get self-service.
