Speaker 2: don't think they've started setting.
Speaker 3: Up in yet. But if you come out of this building.

Speaker 2: on the left, most of your swaps are going to
Speaker 2: be over here on the right, all along the south
Speaker 2: side perimeter here and behind that fence inside of the
Speaker 2: horse track. That's in fact, I'm pretty sure this is
Speaker 2: where the PoTA guys were last year. So I don't
Speaker 2: know where the PoTA guys are. I don't have to
Speaker 2: figure out where they've moved to, cause they've got a
Speaker 2: lot more. So. We were told that there was gonna
Speaker 2: be swaps all behind these buildings, which that's usually vendor parking,

Speaker 2: right around in this corner somewhere. And if you guys
Speaker 2: are talking to me in the chat, I can't see
Speaker 2: the screen. It's too bright out here. So sorry, I'm
