• 7:00
  Speaker 2: have pop and we'll have water. If you want something
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: a little stronger, I'd ask people to bring your own bottle.

  Speaker 2: that for everyone, So bring your own bottle. If you'd

• 7:24
  Speaker 2: sure you can sit on the grass. Anybody's welcome to
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: do that. You can bring a blanket and do that,
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: but I think a share might be more comfortable. We'll
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: have a few, but not enough for everyone we're expected,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: so bring a chair if you need a bottle, bring that,
