you know, for the same kids for different kids.
But one of the things I have been lucky enough to partner with places that have done like some places call them sensory friendly shows, sometimes relaxed concerts at McCarter theater in Princeton.
That's what they call them there.
And so doing shows like that, we can actually get a lot of support from the venue at the show itself, where there are people in the lobby offering, um,
toys for kids who want to have something to sort of be stimulated by, stim toys and a quiet place for them to be or a place for them in the lobby to run around that when they're at the show, everyone can move freely, can make as much sound as they want, can stand up at their seat.
The lights are not as dim.
We don't use a lot of strobe lights.
I usually do them solo.
We keep the sound level at a volume that feels like it's not going to
be too much for anyone hopefully and um and before they come to the shows if anyone who wants a set list i often don't have them ready until a few days before the show but um if they're requested we'll send them out we have a place on our website for people to go and take a look and find out information about the shows themselves so that they can prepare their kids since a lot of kids feel just calmer and happier knowing what's coming
So all of those things we try to do to make sure that, you know, anyone who comes to a show can have fun.
And I want to say that I know a lot of kids are happier at a more sensory friendly show, but there are also so many kids who just come to the regular shows and it's great, you know, because I'm not asking kids to stay in their seat and I'm not asking them to not make noise and,
not move around and not just like be whoever they are out there.
Like that's exactly what I want them to do.
So I know it can sometimes feel harder because of worry about other family, other families or other people, but everyone's kind of doing their own thing.
So a lot of times I think there's a lot of crossover in both shows.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, a lot of what I've done in in the past is just making music videos.
