Hey. You guys are open, right? Yeah. We're open. Oh, cool. Cool. I'm looking for Hector. Is he here by chance? No. I'm just a vendor. We're in the area. Figured we'd stop by and see if we could catch him. I've stopped by a few tier. I've missed him. So I wanna give him your information. I'll make sure he gets it. Okay. Cool. Is there a good time to like meet him? Yeah. Yeah. He's in a meeting right now. Oh, he is? Okay. We can grab lunch, and then we can kinda come back for in a little bit if he's got a minute. This is him? Oh, my gosh. He was literally best sitting right there. Good thing I pushed though because I was like, we could go eat lunch, come back, and then that was what did it.
