I'd say pretty much undeniably was damnest. Red carpet come movie. Premiere com simpson's surprise. And and you and i spent some time with them to after he was taking congratulations from everybody. Everybody in not you know really organic cocktail party. That kind of just emerged very organically after the show in the same way that it might if you had gone to see theater with some friends or you know gone to a film and you'll had drinks after and it just kind of culminated into this really joyous moment and i i remember talking to them nine saying you know you look really happy.
