Get my shoes in.
Out the door.
Five.
I'm lost.
Six.
Seven.
Eight.
Feels great.
I'm gonna shine.
After I do what I'm gonna do.
I do it again.
Yeah.
Look at the sky with the beautiful color.
But never just for me.
You gotta share it with another.
I got to show, to give.
Let I want singing show.
Take a look and say a beautiful morning that turns into a beautiful evening.
And together make beautiful art.
And if you wanna see that, come along with me.
That's right.
We hope you guys are staying warm as the snow has hit the Michiana area, but welcome to Experience Michiana.
We have a great show for you today.
Courtney's up in Three Oaks at the community market.
But first Dave is hitting net power a new place in Mishawaka.
So I'm here on Grape Road at Matt Parr, and I'm here with Jessica, who's the co-owner of this.
Jessica, tell me about this.
And why did you open it?
Yeah.
So, Nat, PA opened about three weeks ago, and the reason why we opened it was because we knew there was an opportunity for families, for individuals to come and golf indoors.
And during the wintertime, you know, you beat those winter blues.
So there's nothing much to do.
And why not practice your swings?
Why not come and enjoy the bar while you're here?
And the reason why was because my kids and my co partners, kids and our husbands play golf and we thought I wouldn't this be a great opportunity for all?
This might be a way for you to see your husband.
That's your idea.
Because, I mean it's such a big challenge.
It's a big, expense and big investment to start something like this.
Yeah.
And so people don't necessarily realize that, I mean, even a sign like this on your wall is expensive.
It is.
And so when you think of all these little things, I mean, how do you go from just thinking about it to actually doing it?
Because that's such a big leap.
It really is.
And, you know, the biggest thing is take small steps.
You have to take this.
You have to have the courage and take the steps forward to be able to get to where we are today.
So in order for us to make this a reality, we knew we needed to push past the comfort zone and invest like you said, and really think about what we wanted this to be.
So and so what is it?
I mean, obviously, like, I like the idea of going out and having a few drinks, but I don't necessarily like just like sitting and drinking.
Yeah, I like the idea of going out and doing something else.
Yes.
Your drinks.
So it's it's very social to include golf and golf is really big around here.
It is.
And I think one of the things we've noticed too is that people want experiences, right.
People want to get out of their house and experience, and the more you can provide a better experience for them, the more you can provide a great service.
You know, an atmosphere that's that's one thing we get a lot is like, this is such a good vibe.
I want to be in here.
I really enjoy it.
It's, you know, it's relaxing or it's a lot of fun.
So I think building that experience and giving that experience for the community and those who walk in those stories is important.
You talk about the winter blues.
I mean, we are today.
It's like super bright in here.
There's lots of windows, which I really like too.
It has that nice vibe for people that are not really into golf anymore.
You talk about the experiences, this experience Michiana.
So I do want to experience that here as I do like golf.
You know, I know how bad I am, but but for people that may not like golf, I mean, what else can they experience here?
Yeah.
So I'm not a great golfer myself, but I have a great time because we don't just have we have over 500 courses, but we don't just have the courses.
You can play different games on there.
You know, my kids or if you're not, like I said, I'm an expert golfer.
You still have a wonderful time.
We have so many people that come in here just as a family and play the games for two hours, and they're like, we couldn't I couldn't have asked for a better experience.
So that is true.
Well, talking about experiencing it, we want to talk more a little bit about, you know, what's happening here.
But how many simulators have you got?
Five.
We have 707.
Seven.
Yes.
Okay.
I can count four.
Yeah.
So so you talk about all the courses, so you can play anywhere or.
Yes, yes, anywhere around the world.
All right.
I want to go over and have a look at one.
Absolutely.
I haven't seen a golf club in probably like 2 or 3 months.
This is the perfect place.
This this is a good place.
I can't lose my balls.
That's right.
All right, so we're here in one of the simulators, and, I'm a golf person, but I didn't know.
Trackman is actually a really popular simulator.
So did you know that using it or didn't, did you have to do a lot of research into a lot of getting all this?
How much technology is involved in all this?
It really is a lot of technology.
And the thing about is Trackman is the top notch technology you can get.
It's the best of the best.
So we wanted to make sure we provided that.
Yeah, make sure our kids in the future like can go to college and come here and support it.
You know, this is a lot of investment right now.
And so over here actually it's funny because playing the courses is fun, but can I see some of the games.
Absolutely.
You know, I think about over a two and a half year old daughter and I'm like, yeah, you know she like swinging.
Just we have a little fake set at home.
So like so was it just all touchscreen.
So yeah.
So it's all touchscreen.
And you can see your different options here.
Shuffle golf bullseye adventure.
Yeah.
Our popular ones are scrap yard and cannon ball okay.
So amp up putt.
So yeah those are I mean like as you can see there's different options that you can choose.
If you get bored of one, which usually doesn't happen.
Yeah.
But you do have different options.
How do you make sure with like to stay competitive or pricing and things.
Because I have I don't know what the pricing is, but how do you actually make sure that you can have all this, have families come in but not have it be something that like it's just too expensive for most people?
Yeah.
So, you know, with kids it's like it's crazy I agree.
Yeah I agree.
So it depends on the time of day and the time of the year as well.
Right.
Being an indoor golf facility, there are times where the season is busier than others.
So if you come on a Monday, it's going to be a little less expensive than if you come on a Saturday, you know, or a Friday night.
But yeah, it just varies.
And it's, you know, on our net par golf or on our app, you can see what fits your budget.
When would you be able to come in our schedule and kind of do your reservation.
Isn't that per actually like a nationwide brand or is that just something you created?
It's a franchise, a franchise, yes.
So it's a franchise.
They have different ones in Northwest Indiana, but I know New York, Omaha, they all have them as well.
Awesome.
I think I'm going to do okay, because I do like games, because the idea of just like doing a full course is genuinely like not that exciting, but I love doing closest to the pin.
So I try this.
Absolutely.
So yeah, it's kind of finicky there.
Okay, so oh so so I'm from Ireland originally so I see it there manners here turf which is in Limerick.
So I think we're going to try that.
Perfect.
I should have asked you how to pronounce it really before I just, I yeah.
Let me see 157.
Sounds good to me.
Yeah.
You kind of.
Yes.
Yeah.
There you go.
And then you'll just add your name on here.
Okay.
And then you can add it as a guest.
Okay.
Yeah it's fine.
I'll just do player one there for the sake of it.
And then you can just just play away.
Yeah.
You just play away.
It's pretty self-explanatory.
Seven, seven iron further.
All right.
Hey, that's actually not a bad shot.
Wow.
That's the first time a female's ever been impressed by golf game, so I appreciate that.
Thank you.
Let's just get this date tattooed on my arm.
I need to hit a bit harder.
So there it is.
There it is.
Impressive.
It's in the sand.
Oh, no.
Well, apparently I need to go down a club.
I'm not very good.
So.
Oh, gosh.
How do you feel about it?
How was the experience for you?
It's good.
You know, like, I like the social side of things.
Yes.
A lot of what our golfers say, it's so different from actually playing out on the course.
Yeah, it's always different than than being outside because half of golf is like, is it's like about being out in nature.
Yeah.
Enjoying it.
Yes.
But definitely in weather like this where you can't be outside as much like I definitely like it.
There's a couple of simulators that I've played in that made me feel like kind of, I don't know, not like queasy, but like it feels so big and so bright.
So it's definitely the standard of simulator is definitely way better than any one I've experienced before.
Glad to hear that.
But I do like the fact that you're interviewing me.
So this is great.
Yes.
And the cool thing about this is that whenever you whatever course you choose, the weather, the wind, all of that is accurate.
Oh, so what's going on?
What's really going on at that?
Crazy.
Yes.
That's crazy.
I can see what it looks like.
I can't believe it's actually, like, not raining in Ireland.
So can you change that?
Or does it have to be the net?
That's cool though, isn't it?
Isn't it neat?
That is a new experience.
Like it's there.
Yeah yeah yeah yeah.
Wow.
That's crazy.
I was actually just in Ireland over the weekend and very cool.
The weather was not as nice as that.
So today was a perfect.
Yeah, I should have said who knew that I'd go from Ireland, get here last night, come here today and go back and then go back again.
So yeah.
So that is cool.
But as you mentioned there's an app as well.
So is that just downloading the net right.
Yes.
So there's a, net part app and then there's a track man app.
So the man app allows you to keep track of all the courses and, you know, all the games that you've played.
If we have leagues here as well.
So that'll also keep track of all the courses you played in the, in the league.
And your scores and how well you're doing what you want to improve.
Now, what about because, like me coming in here, right.
So like me coming in here and just, like, hitting balls.
And then I could go out and play, like, the worst I've ever played, even though I played well here.
What about the idea of having, like, instructors?
Is that something that you've ever thought about?
We actually are in the talks of having a PGA do some nice.
So yes, I'm offering those lessons.
I mean, I think it would actually be really cool because then I'd feel like it was actually useful towards like not just having fun, but useful towards the summer of when I actually want to go out and play.
And nephew, I don't know if you know this, but Trackman actually tracks how this is really what your speed and how you hit out in the golf course.
Yeah.
So that's how accurate it is.
It was definitely accurate because it went off to the left.
So that's how I know it's definitely accurate.
So what about food here?
I noticed there was some people up at the bar eating because I wasn't really expecting that when I came in.
Yes, we do have a menu.
Trust me.
I started on the back, the whiskey.
Although after being in Ireland for the weekend, I think I'm good at am forever, but, so yeah, looking at your menu here, like, what?
What have you got going on?
So we have an elevated bar menu, right?
We have shareable as anywhere from tater tots nachos.
And then we also have flatbreads which are very popular.
Yeah.
Very good.
We have pretzels.
We also have a really delicious, warm chocolate chip skillet cookie that we sell a lot or I do for birthdays.
Sometimes we have birthdays or just having a sweet tooth, you know, so we have an elevated bar menu that we like to offer people to come and enjoy something to eat.
Now you're actually open like very early.
We are, well, very early.
I have a two and a half year old, so very early.
It's like 5:00.
But you're open from 8 a.m.. Yes, 8 a.m.. So yeah.
Is that every day?
It is every day.
Wow.
Okay.
Seven days a week.
Do you sleep or are you good?
Maybe like four hours.
Yeah.
And that's between like 12 and 14.
And so seven days a week, you're open, but you're open from 8:00.
Even on a Sunday.
Yeah.
Oh, Sunday.
So what times?
Sunday through Wednesday until 10 p.m.. And then Thursday, Friday and Saturday until midnight.
Okay.
So on here pretty late.
Yeah.
You are you are you like.
And you know we talked I was talking about affordability earlier.
Let me hear a little bit about like what it cost to actually come here.
Yeah.
So it depends on the day.
It depends on the time of the week that you'd like to come.
And it also depends on the season.
Right.
Winter is going to be a little bit more busier.
And yeah.
So it depends.
If you come in the morning you could golf anywhere from $20 up to $80 per hour.
So it's not per bay and it's not per person.
It's per hour.
Okay.
So you can have up to eight people at your bay okay.
So again it's like yeah that's at the busiest time that it's $30.
But if you came in when it's $20 and you had five people, it's just you know.
Exactly.
Yeah, exactly.
Okay.
Let's say you split it among your, you know, your group.
It's really not it's very reasonable.
Yeah.
No, absolutely it is.
And again, even if you just want to come in on your own, it's still reasonable exactly what you want to do.
Especially you want to practice.
So awesome.
And I see you have old fashioneds.
We do.
What time is it?
No go.
But, best of luck with everything to you and the other co-owners.
And, you know, it takes a it's a big thing to do this year right here on Grape and Day.
Yes, yes, here as well.
And, yeah, I always appreciate when people go for something like this.
Thank you.
Go and do it.
And I hope a lot of people come and just experience it and have a good time.
Thank you.
Yeah, that's what we're here for.
Just to give people a great experience to enjoy the Michiana area and come learn how to play golf or improve their golf skills, or just have a date night or friends.
Yeah, whatever it could be.
It's true.
It's so nice to come out and actually have fun.
And yes, at a bar.
Yes.
Although you can do that too.
That's right.
Hey, that was my best shot.
Watch.
Look at this.
Still short.
Okay, well, don't forget to check out this place.
Now, part of they also have memberships.
They even have weekly leagues, which is really cool as well.
And, yeah, support this local business.
That's really fun.
We're back in Three Oaks, Michigan this week.
And the commune market.
This is a fabulous space here.
I have my friend Jim with me, and this is a relatively new.
You guys have been here for around a year.
Almost.
Yes.
We officially open in, like, April of last year.
Okay.
We had finished construction around January, and then we'd spent the previous year in construction.
This is a former go kart factory.
Really?
And when you get into the front area, that used to be 50 years ago.
It was a used car lot for Laettner.
Chevrolet.
Okay.
Do you have, like, any components, like in, the, the, the corrugated metal in the front?
Yeah.
That is the old front of the building that has been buried for 50 years.
Really?
When I when we started pulling off the old siding and stuff, we found that.
So and then there's a clock in the front that is from, Carrie Laettner, which was one of the original owners of the her father on the dealership.
So very cool to be able to bring some of those components into it.
It's crazy.
You could talk to us about the vision that you have for this space.
Well, we we wanted to place, first of all, this place.
It's been kind of under utilized and empty for 20 years.
And, every day we would walk by and see this just empty hulk of a building.
And it's a huge building.
It's it's about 9000ft².
And we really wanted to create something for the community here, not just for the tourist trade, but for somebody, for the people that live here every day.
My partner Tom and I have retired here after we sold our business in Chicago.
And, this is so this is kind of a retirement project, but.
And this is not a retirement, really.
I know this is not this is definitely not been our project.
But we really wanted to bring something that would be a gathering spot for people and for locals, like a, some place that they are safe and they feel welcome every day, every day.
And, we were lucky.
And you meet, Raina and Alice, from Randalls that has opened Alan Ray's coffee shop, and they have a built in following, here in the area.
So, from the moment that they opened.
And winner gets a little bleak sometimes in Harbor Country without the tourist trade.
But they were, from the moment they opened.
We've had packed seats in there and everybody has really the the vibe is chill and and loving and community driven.
On any given day, you can see people working up there having meetings, planning overthrows, you know, whatever, whatever.
So I mean, you get the coffee, smell.
The pastries are beautiful over there too.
We have Celeste stolen from Greenbrier Bakery as our in-house pastry chef.
And so she not only does the pastries for that, but then for the commun, she'll do, wedding cakes, custom wedding cakes, and special pastries for here.
So you can rent this space out too, right?
Yes, absolutely.
And we've had everything from weddings and baby showers to art shows.
Randolph Street Market was here last year.
Art attack was here last year.
And one of the unique things about this space, outside of the the two storey with the mezzanine level, which is fabulous, but, we also have an outdoor courtyard that so we've had last year we had a pride party out there and and, you know, so you have that indoor outdoor flow.
Yeah.
And it gives much, much more possibilities of, you know, with the weird weather around here about moving in or out.
But yes.
So I love you have the garage door here.
We can open or close it too.
Yeah.
Upstairs there's, there's two lounges for, brides to get ready.
And, Are you thought of at all?
I hope so, I hope so, you really did.
And what's the capacity in here?
The capacity is for people.
It's about 280 people for the whole building.
The weddings.
Like for seated.
It's about 160.
170.
That's great, because I know a number of rides that are looking for spaces right now.
Oh my God, send them my way.
Yes, I, I'm definitely going to recommend them my way.
Yeah.
You know, what was your vision for this overall space you talked about.
You know you can rent the space.
This is a communal space for everyone coming through the door.
It's a welcoming space.
And then you also have crafting components in here too, and even some empty space that maybe we could utilize.
We were inspired by the market in Saint Joe, to be honest, you know, and how it has had kind of a little mini mart, appeal to it.
We knew we wanted a coffee shop as anchor tenant.
That was that was first and foremost, that we wanted to bring some everyday food and every day coffee to town.
Sure.
There are other great coffee shops that go on, but we're the only one that are open seven days a week.
Oh, I love that.
And then we met Ben and Corinne from Handmade Studios, and they came in with a presentation, and it used to be a high school, art teacher, and it just turns out it was her PowerPoint.
Her her art teacher in Laporte was, my best friend's sister.
So we had a connection.
And that's exactly the kind of vibe that I was hoping for over there.
So the empty space is is spot a 600 square foot space?
It's in the front window.
And I've been a little picky about trying to get something that will fit in with the other two tenants.
Five I get yes, I would love a bookstore or, you know, a plant store or something.
That's going to be like something where people could come every day.
And it's not just a special occasion.
Yeah, keep giving them a reason to come back in and just be a part of the community.
We operate kind of as a commune in terms of everybody has to get along and meetings and, you know, we make group decisions and they have a right of refusal on the, on the new tenants so that so that we make sure that we're all out of everything, I love it.
When can we go talk to the other couples out there?
Oh.
All right, let's go do that.
Okay.
When you walk in this place, that coffee, it fills your nostrils.
I mean, that's just what you want, right?
That's exactly what we want.
I love it.
Raina, thank you so much for joining me.
And this is a wonderful space that you've created here.
Talk to us more about how this space was created.
This just is a wonderful opportunity.
That kind of fell in our lap.
I think it was.
We discovered that this was open, and we just kind of felt like it was a really great opportunity to expand our existing lunchroom that we have in Galena, which is just a town over, and it just kind of felt like the town and the community needed something that was like seven days a week and really consistent, and a really just communal kind of space.
Now talk to us about the lunch space that you have over in Delhi, and how long have you guys had that space?
We've been there about four years now.
It's primarily lunch, but we we do open at nine with, coffee, pastries, breakfast sandwiches.
But it's pretty lunch focused.
Okay.
And people love the coffee enough that you brought the coffee shop over here.
They do?
And both places are using and fiasco Coffee, which is locally roasted, by infuse go rate and Sawyer, which is just a couple of towns.
So do you tend to use more locally sourced ingredients for your products here?
Yes, definitely.
Especially in the summer.
You know, we rely on a lot of the local produce and we're really happy to be working with them.
Pisco, because they're just amazing and it's great coffee and we get a lot of support and we're just kind of here together doing it, which is great.
I love it.
How is it like, how has it been perceived in the last year that you guys have started this coffee shop here in three hours?
I'm, to my knowledge, really good.
I mean, you guys have all merged well over here.
So we have a virtual.
We have real hot.
We have real high hopes.
I love your hat on every day.
Every day.
You know, I think it's up.
Really?
Well, I think it's been, I can't lose in my space like this where people can come seven days a week.
I mean, what does that mean to the people who are coming and visiting?
You know, I think it means a lot because there are just there seem to be fewer and fewer places where you can just kind of meet up with a friend, do your work.
It seems to be kind of a dying rite.
Remember, we used to all go to borders or go to a Starbucks and sit and gather, and you're kind of able to do that here, which has been really nice for people.
And I'm always looking for kind of outdoor spaces, indoor spaces and just spaces where you can get out of the house because oftentimes we end up getting so isolated.
Absolutely.
And so you'll notice every time you come in here, there's this little group sitting by the fireplace, sitting at tables and then just playing games.
We have a knitting group that comes in.
So all different kinds of people are using this space.
It's great, I love that.
I know that now you guys have some food items here too.
We do.
Everything is baked here in house.
So it is primarily coffee, but we do a few like signature sandwiches, pastries.
We have a good amount of like just snacks and grab and go items.
So it's not a full restaurant like the other one, but you can really make a meal out of all the little and some that you're just swinging by to grab some coffee, you can grab something to a bite to eat and go.
Absolutely.
And if you're with your dog or on your bike, there's also a little walk up window back there outside, which is really great.
That is clever.
Yeah, I love that idea.
Cool.
Let's keep up with that idea.
Actually, the owners of the building, Jim and Tom, were smart enough to have the foresight to do it.
I love it.
I love it.
Now, can people order your coffee?
Do you have a website?
We do have a website.
If you wanted to order it, I'd probably just suggest you went to infuse goes website because they sell a variety.
And then they roast ours for us exclusively, which is kind of great.
So we do sell the retail bags here and in Galena.
Do you have one that's maybe most popular here in Three Oaks or different?
Erin, your place in Galena?
No, I think it's our dark roast.
Which is really great.
It's called a kick in the beans.
And that's probably our signature roast.
That's the most popular in all of your prices are very reasonable here, too.
Thank you.
We think so.
You know, we're doing the best we can.
You know, just given the circumstances right now.
But, you know, we're trying to keep it as reasonable as absolutely possible.
I love it.
Grab a coffee, grab a pastry, and grab some merch while you're here.
That's right.
A lot of things for you.
Thank you so much.
I mean, this is a very cool space here that we're checking out everything here handmade, right.
And yes.
And made studio.
All independent artists, and as well as like art supplies and, just different homemade, things you can craft with it or take it home and hang it on your wall.
I love it.
Now, Corinne, you are an artist in so many different ways, right?
I love it, I love it.
Tell me what you're working on right now.
I am finishing up some, ornaments.
I do pet ornaments every year or so.
And, like.
Okay, I do something like that too.
I have two.
Oh.
Do you?
I do.
You're so cute.
I love having stuff like this.
This piece is really creative.
It's all about being creative in this space.
You have different kinds of workshops that you offer.
Tell us more about that.
Yes.
So we love very hands on workshops.
We do things that don't take a lot of skill.
It's not intimidating.
Okay, that's good for me because I like to think I'm creative, but I really am not very good at it.
Yeah, a lot of people are very intimidated, and I don't want that.
I want it to be easy and fun.
And you, like, take home something you're proud of.
Good.
I love that.
What are some of the different kinds of artwork there that people can experience here?
We love printmaking here.
We have a lot of plants, so that's like carving into either linoleum or wood.
We do lots of, like painting or, or cyanotype, that we like to do, which is like, sun print where you like paint chemistry onto paper and you have examples of that.
Can we check it out?
Right.
Okay.
Come show me this, because I need to see it to understand it.
Yeah.
So, this is just an imprint of, like, foliage of some sort.
You paint.
That's like chemistry.
It's yellow when you're inside, and then you leave it in the sun, it starts to turn into blue.
So, this chemistry background that you know, you're an artist, it's like a $12 kids science kit.
Oh, sorry.
This is very cool.
I love it.
Yeah.
So, lots of things that, like, you just need to learn the process.
It doesn't take a lot of skill, and it's not super intimidating, but that is like a cool product.
So during the week, are you here so people can access this and you can kind of help explain easy things?
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Oh, good.
Good.
Okay.
What else do we have over here?
This is really cool.
Yeah.
Thanks.
I like to get unique art things.
I was a high school art teacher, so I've experimented with a lot of different mediums.
Okay.
Yeah.
So I just found products that I thought were unique and I haven't seen before.
So, like, I've got watercolor pencils here that you just get the drawing wet and it starts to have that watercolor effect.
That's cool.
Yeah.
And these are some of the prints up here, too.
That one?
Yeah.
Yep.
My husband Dan made this one very cool.
And that's what you could purchase.
Yes.
Okay, cool.
Yeah.
Yep.
And then he does custom framing as well.
So he made the frames on the wall.
Really?
Yeah.
It's like an all in one shop.
So like gift giving here.
Yes, absolutely.
I love that too.
Okay, let's talk about this space over here.
Yeah.
This is cool.
What is this called?
So this is the printmaking, and this is linoleum.
So linocut.
And this is print that I did.
So it's like a rubber, linoleum.
And you carbon, you carve it itself?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then, use ink.
And basically it's a big stamp.
So you could make, like, Christmas cards or something if you wanted to really, really make them homemade.
Yeah, absolutely.
Oh, maybe some birthday cards, which is nice about printmaking.
You can just keep printing like hundreds of cards.
Then that's once you have it.
You have it.
Oh, awesome.
Now, how can people get signed up for any of your workshops and learn more about what you're doing?
Yeah, absolutely.
We have a website which I can get a business card.
And that has our schedule.
But you can also give us a call if you've got, if you want to do a one on one or if you have a bigger group that you want to come in.
Okay.
So if I wanted to bring maybe like a group of girlfriends here for ladies night.
Absolutely.
We could do something.
Yeah.
What are some of the options that you have for those workshops?
So we do linocut.
That's a very fun one.
And, I think stamps turn out cool no matter like the level.
And then we do the cyanotype classes.
We've done needle felting, so that's really cool.
It's very therapeutic and just have felt over and over again.
Or my fingers sometimes, sometimes there's.
And let's see.
Yeah, we have a whole list that you can come and pick from.
Great.
Yeah.
We do.
Between my husband and I, we just have a lot of interest.
So we have a lot of different classes to offer.
Yeah, I know you guys have this phenomenal space here, too, but you're also a bigger collaborator too, because you guys do photography as well.
Yeah.
Yep.
Full time wedding photographer.
I've been in the Vincent business since, 2018.
Doing about 20 something weddings a year or so.
Oh, my.
Well-versed in weddings.
That keeps you very busy, I'm sure.
So somebody wanted to have their wedding here.
You could potentially be there for or for that.
Don't worry.
You not here.
And I know a lot of, there's so many cool styles out there.
So, I know lots of friends in the industry that have just a lot of talent and like to have different styles to their work.
So people that could be.
Yeah, linked up here with who like whatever your style is.
Awesome.
Awesome.
Very cool.
Yeah.

This is really cool.
