Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning. You're listening to what's going on a show
about making a difference in our lives and our communities.
I'm Lorraine Balladmorrow, we'll take a look at youth mental
health and a new community conversation called Ignite Philly, bringing students,
families and leaders together to help shape solutions. Lady, we'll
step into a world of elegance and imagination with the
Regency ball a Bridgeton inspired immersive event coming to Philadelphia.

(00:24):
But first, teachers play a powerful role in shaping not
only what students learn, but who they become. To recognize
the extraordinary educators who go above and beyond for their
students and their communities, Independence Blue Cross and the Philadelphia
Phillies have created the IBX Honor Roll, Now in its
second year, the program celebrates outstanding teachers across the Philadelphia

(00:46):
five County region and New Jersey who inspire a love
of learning, support students well being, and make a lasting
impact both inside and outside the classroom. We'll tell you
all about how you can nominate the teacher that you
would love to acknowledge. Joining us right now is Colleen Cavanagh,
Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, at Independence Blue Cross. Well, Colleen,

(01:10):
what does the IBX Honor Role entail and why was
it created?

Speaker 2 (01:14):
So?

Speaker 3 (01:14):
The IBX Honor Role is a way for us to
honor teachers. You know, as you said, they really are
shaping the future with the work that they do with
students every day. And similar to our celebrate caring for nurses,
we look at teachers as those unsung heroes that really
we want to shine a light on and recognize all

(01:34):
the amazing work that they do for their students, not
just in the classroom, but we also see as teachers
go beyond the classroom, doing extracurricular things, things in the community,
and we really want to honor all of their contributions
to our community and to the students and to the
families that they work with.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
Now, this initiative is in partnership of the Philadelphia Phillies.
How did that collaboration come together and why was recognizing
teachers a natural fit for both organisms.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
We do have a partnership with the Phillies.

Speaker 3 (02:02):
I'm sure fans have noticed that our logo is on
their jerseys, and really, when we did that partnership, we
wanted to see how could we leverage the partnership to
really give back to the community, and this was one
of the ideas that we had is to give an
opportunity to recognize people that don't get those everyday accolades
in the jobs that they do, but they play an

(02:24):
important role in our communities and helping children.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
Who are the future of the world.

Speaker 3 (02:29):
Really, it was the opportunity there to work with the
Phillies create a program that actually gives recognition to the teachers.
They will be recognized on the field beginning of a game,
so they'll be able to have an experience that most
people don't ever get to experience, be right there on
Citizens Bank Park field, have their name announced over the

(02:50):
loud speaker beyond the fan of vision there in the stadium.
From that as well, they'll get a five hundred dollars
gift card.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
They'll get their own Phillies jersey as.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
Well as a swag bag with some other items. And
the big piece me is that we also have branding
within Citizens Bank Park. So every teacher that wins, and
we'll be recognizing one teacher for every month of the season,
their name will actually be in Citizens Bank Park, you know,
on a wall in the park that they can come back,

(03:21):
bring their families, their friends can go see if their
students can go see it and say.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
Hey, there's my teacher.

Speaker 3 (03:26):
And we did the program last year, so even the
folks that won last year, their names will remain up
on the wall for people to see, you know, years
to come. We had one teacher that actually said they're
going to bring their kids back every year and just
measure them against that sign to see how they grow,
which is really neat.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
I love that.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
So who is eligible for the twenty twenty six IBX
Honor Roll and how can students, families and community members
nominated deserving teacher before the March twenty second deadline.

Speaker 3 (03:52):
They can go to our website to nominate a teacher
ibx dot com and teachers to be eligible, they need
to have been a teacher for five years. We are
looking for experienced teachers to be nominated. And then the
teacher needs to reside in or work in the Philadelphia
five county area, so bucks Chester, Delaware, Montgomery and Philadelphia

(04:13):
counties or in the state of New Jersey. So if
they live in either work in either of those areas,
they are welcome to submit a nomination. We will accept
nominations from teachers, from students, from other faculty.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
We had a lot of.

Speaker 3 (04:27):
The nominations last year came from the faculty teachers nominating teachers,
or you know, the principals or administrators of schools nominating teachers.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
We also got them from families.

Speaker 3 (04:38):
It's really amazing some of the stories that we hear
and we see of the above and beyond things that
teachers do to support their students in so many different ways.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
You mentioned the teacher that is measuring their children against
the acknowledgement on the field. Are there any stories that
kind of stick out for you in honoring some of
the teachers in the past.

Speaker 3 (05:00):
We had a teacher that we recognized that does a
lot of work with people who have disabilities, so even
supporting within the classroom, but also outside the classroom where
giving opportunities and jobs to students that may not be
able to be able to get jobs in other ways.
What shoot out from the nomination too was that teacher's

(05:23):
ability to bring other students into the classroom to help
them understand and feel comfortable with kids that may have
different abilities than they do, and you know, really creating
that sense of belonging for those students, for the students
that may have challenges that other students don't have, making
everyone feel respected for the talents that they do have,

(05:45):
so that you know that one really stuck out to
me is just you know, an amazing way that teachers
are making a difference that will have long term effects.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
Yeah. Well, teachers are certainly my personal heroes, so it's
wonderful of that IVX and the Phillies are honoring them
through this program. Community Initiative IBX is also working to
make healthcare easier to navigate from members. Can you share
a couple of ways the organization is helping people access
affordable care and wellness resources.

Speaker 3 (06:11):
The easiest ways is through our app. Books can download
our app and have easy access to adoptor looking at
their benefits, seeing any claims that they may have had.
We have resources that are right there within the app
as well well. People can reach out to a health
coach if they have a question, they can email a
health coach and get a response back. We have the
ability through the app as well that you can see

(06:33):
if you have additional benefits that are part of your
benefit program, where you can click out and learn more
about how maybe to manage your diabetes, or if maybe
you're having challenges with depression or anxiety.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
There's a lot going on in this world, right.

Speaker 3 (06:46):
So there are resources that are out on our website
to help people support them understand maybe what type of
practitioner maybe they need to reach out to to get
support through anything along those lines. Speaking of behavioral health,
we work with CONNECTI care providers where people can get
an appointment with the behavioral health specialist within within three days.
So sometimes that's really difficult to find somebody, especially in

(07:09):
a short timeframe like that. You know, typically the wait
is weeks in order to get those types of appointments.

Speaker 1 (07:15):
Wonderful. Well, back to the IBX Honor role. Tell us
what the website is where people can make those nominations
or any other ways that people can connect with this program.
Calling back to the IBX Honor Roles, if anyone is
interested in making a nomination, what is the best way
to do that?

Speaker 3 (07:32):
So the best way to nominated teacher is to go
to our website. It's IBX dot com slash teachers and
if you go there, you'll be able to see the
nomination form right away.

Speaker 2 (07:41):
It's a very simple process.

Speaker 3 (07:42):
All you have to do is put in your name
the name of a teacher that you're nominating, where they work,
you know where their school is, and then a quick
story about what makes this teacher so deserving of the
honor as many details as you can provide. I think
there's a word limit. I think it's two hundred and
fifty words. So we're not asking for thank you much,
but be as specific as you can about the amazing

(08:02):
things that teacher is done and how they are really
affecting in a positive way their students or the community
with the work that they do.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
Colleen Kavanaugh, Senior Vice president and Chief Marketing Officer at
Independence Blue Cross, telling us about Independence Blue Cross and
the Philadelphia Phillies IBX Honor Roll. In its second year.
The program celebrates outstanding teachers across the Philadelphia five County
region and New Jersey who inspire a love of learning,
support students well being, and make a lasting impact both

(08:32):
inside and outside the classroom. Nominations for the twenty twenty
six IBX Honor Roll are open now through March twenty second,
so you want to get your nominations in. Colleen, thank
you so much for joining us today.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
Thank you Loraine, appreciate you having me.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
Did you know that cold exposure kills more people worldwide
each year than extreme heat? In Philadelphia, heat season runs
October first through April thirtieth. During this time, landlords are
legally required to provide adequate heat at least sixty eight
degrees in all living spaces. If you're renting and don't
have proper heat, call three one one immediately, And remember stoves, ovens,

(09:11):
and portable heaters are not safe alternatives. They can cause
fires in carbon monoxide poisoning. Heat isn't optional, it's the law.
If you're without heat, called three to one one. Today,
youth mental health continues to be one of the most
urgent issues facing families, schools, and communities today. While Philadelphia's

(09:35):
built one of the most comprehensive youth mental health networks
in Pennsylvania, many young people still face barriers getting support
that they need, from long wait lists to gaps in
preventative care. A new community initiative is bringing students, families, educators,
and leaders together to help shape solutions. It's called Ignite Philly,
Driving the next phase of youth mental health taking place Monday,

(09:58):
March sixteenth, from four to six pe at four forty
North Broad Street in Philadelphia. The event is part of
Strong Minds, Bright Futures partnership, working statewide to strengthen mental
health supports for young people. Joining us are Chloe McIntyre,
a seventeen year old student at the Philadelphia High School
for Girls who share what she's seeing among her peers,
and doctor Kate Fox, Associate director of Mental health Policy

(10:20):
at Children First, one of the organizations helping to lead
the effort. So, Chloe, I'm going to start with you,
as a student at Philadelphia High School for Girls. What
are you seeing and hearing from classmates about mental health
challenges that young people are facing today?

Speaker 4 (10:33):
Hi, one thing I've noticed among my classmates is just
us feeling overwhelmed and feeling like we're not doing enough
or we could be doing better. I just feel like
it's very hard. It's really really hard because there are
just so many opinions in so many standards we have
to live up to, and it's also hard to balance
our own life.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
Yeah, there's so many pressures out there. Certainly social media
is a big one. When I was coming up, did
not exist. So now you can take bullying to a
whole astronomically higher level because of social media.

Speaker 4 (11:07):
So how is that.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
Impacting on people's mental wellness?

Speaker 4 (11:11):
I feel like a lot of things you on social
media are unattainable for the regular person. And then the
absolutely there are people who are doing all these things,
and of course everyone is a different point in their life,
but it's so easy to compare yourself to what someone else's,
what someone else is doing, or what they.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
Have these impossible values, these impossible you know, things that
people are doing that the average person, you know, it's
not really within reach. So a lot of adults talk
about the youth mental health crisis, but hearing directly from
students is so incredibly important. Why do you think it's
essential for young people to have a voice in shaping solutions.

Speaker 4 (11:48):
We're the ones who are actively going through it, And
of course I agree that educators have their own struggles,
but the youth are the ones who, of course are
the future. We're the ones who can help, are peers
because we know exactly what it feels like to be
going through mental health involving school, balancing work life and
everything else.

Speaker 1 (12:04):
Right, you're speaking from personal experience and your own lived experience.

Speaker 4 (12:10):
Yes, very much, even this year, like, I was having
such a hard time with being in school and I
had a job. I was at school, I was at work,
and I was having such a hard time balancing it all.

Speaker 5 (12:21):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
You know, it's interesting because you know, even as adults,
we often have difficulty juggling all the different balls that
we have in the air. And for someone who's you know,
very motivated as you are, trying to get it all together,
that's got to be really tough. Is it really is, Kate,
Let's talk to you, doctor Fox. Philadelphia's built one of

(12:42):
the most comprehensive youth mental health networks in the state,
but there are gaps. What are some of the biggest
challenges families and students continue to face when trying to
access mental health care.

Speaker 6 (12:53):
Thanks for having us on today. First, I do want
to share I grew up in the Philly mental health
system and I worked at community behavioral health. I worked
for the County Mental Health Department. It is one of
the most innovative systems in this country in terms of
the relationship between the county and the mental health providers

(13:15):
and and community behavioral health. I think when we're talking
about gaps existing, it really has to do with policy
at the state level that then inhibits Philly from acting
on providing services. So one thing that we hear time
and time again from parents is just the inability to

(13:36):
navigate across different systems. So you might have a child
that has early intervention services in their daycare and also
needs some mental health support or maybe has DHS depart
child Welfare involvement, and just the number of touch points,
the number of different systems interacting with this family is
impossible to navigate. Another opportunity is really about the upstream

(14:00):
I say services for teens. So we heard from a
lot of kids in Kensington specifically about just wanting safe spaces,
wanting spaces to play or to be able to walk
safely from their school to the rec center. A lot
of kids don't get to engage in existing programs because

(14:22):
feeling safe and having safe spaces for kids is a
part of the mental health continuum in terms of prevention
and early engagement with teens.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
I think that's such an important point that you raise because,
as Chloe says, there are the issues of balancing school
and personal life and all those different things, but then
you add on that layer of the environment around you.
I have a son who went to Conwell Middle School,
so driving him to the heart of the opioid epidemic

(14:54):
was an eye opener because we drove him there, we
dropped him off grade school. But a lot of kids
had to walk through and walk around people who are
living with substance use disorder and that has to have
an impact. Even though kids don't like to admit it,
it impacts your sense of wellbeing right right.

Speaker 6 (15:12):
And there's also a ton of great programs like we'll
just focus on the Kensington area and there are a
ton of great after school programs doing great work with kids.
But these programs are all grant funded, philanthropically funded. It's
not a sustainable pathway towards really supporting kids mental well being.

(15:32):
And so what we're all about is trying to build
pathways that sustain these services and really think about the
preventative service as part of the mental health continuum.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (15:45):
Yeah, certainly there needs to be sustainable support and also information.
A lot of times people just don't know what they
don't know, They don't know what's out there. I hear
time and time again there's nothing out there. Yes, there's
a lot out there, but you need to know where
that's resource is now. The event that you're talking about
today is Ignite Philly driving the next phase of youth

(16:07):
mental health. What will happen during the community dialogue and
what do you hope participants will walk away with.

Speaker 6 (16:12):
So we want to be very clear that this is
not another sort of panel discussion where we hear from
a lot of leadership about the youth mental health crisis
and we just sit and.

Speaker 4 (16:24):
Talk about it.

Speaker 6 (16:25):
That's I think what happens a lot of times adults
talking about young people and the youth mental health issues.
Ignite Philly is really going to be action oriented. We
want to have participants really engaged in ways to collectively,
how do we distribute the power collectively to push up

(16:45):
towards the county administration and the state administration to make
some of the changes to the youth mental health system.
So we are going to hear from students at the event,
students to share their personal Students like Chloe to share
their personal experiences with the mental health system and kind
of and their vision what can we really be doing differently,

(17:08):
And then it's up to the adults to figure out
how we do that, how do we enact this The
youth vision because we need to be listening instead of talking.

Speaker 1 (17:16):
So we will organize for sure. So if people, students, families, educators,
community members want to be a part of this conversation,
how can they attend the event that's happening on March
sixteenth and where can they learn more about the work
of Children First and Strong Minds Right Futures.

Speaker 6 (17:32):
Great. We have a website Strongmindspa dot org that you
can register for the event there. It's on the event
right page. It's on all of our social media pages
Strong Minds PA on Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn. You can
email me if you want, Kate f as in Fox

(17:53):
at CHILDRENFIRSPA dot org. We're always looking for more community
partners to be involved in the Strong Minds Right Futures partnership.
We are building a coalition of right now. It's over
one hundred and fifteen organization strong, but we're always looking
for more participation to join us in this organizing work.

Speaker 1 (18:15):
Fantastic, Well, Chloe, I'm going to give you the last word.
So for those listeners out there who are interested in
this event and those who may be on the fence,
what is your message to them?

Speaker 4 (18:27):
Mental health is very important, very very important, especially in
the youth and students like myself, because like I said,
we are the future and we have to take care
of ourselves. We really do.

Speaker 1 (18:39):
We need to take care of ourselves. We need to
help students take care of themselves. Families, educators, community members, students,
all of you all come on down to this event.
It is happening on Monday, March sixteenth, from four to
six pm at four forty North and Broad Street. It
is Ignite Philly, driving the next phase of youth mental

(18:59):
health taking place again Monday, and it is part of
the Strong Minds Bright Futures partnership. I want to thank
you both for joining us today. Chloe McIntyre, seventeen year
old student at the Philadelphia High School for Girls, and
doctor Kate Fox, Associate director of Mental health Policy at
Children First, one of the organizations helping to lead this effort.

Speaker 5 (19:20):
Thanks a lot, Hi, I'm Vioa Davis. Did you know
that one in five kids in America struggle with hunger
growing up? I was one of those kids. But we
can solve this. When we make breakfast happen for kids
in our neighborhood, we have the power to end childhood hunger,

(19:42):
create bigger, brighter school days, and healthier minds and bodies.
Go to hunger is dot org and lend your time
or your voice.

Speaker 3 (19:50):
We're hunger for More, a message from the ACME Foundation
and the Entertainment Industry Foundation.

Speaker 1 (19:56):
A medical crisis can quickly become a financial crisis. Hope
Live is working to change that. Since nineteen eighty three,
the nonprofit has helped thousands of families raise millions of
dollars from medical and related expenses that insurance simply doesn't cover.
Help Hope Live is the nation's only nonprofit medical fundraising platform,
providing trusted tools and personal support to help communities rally

(20:40):
that bring imagination, fashion, and community together. One of the
most unique upcoming events is the Regency Ball, a Bridgitton
and Gilded Age inspired black tie soare designed to transport
guests into the world of romance, elegance, and high society.
The Evening Blend's live music, curity, dining, fashion, and interactive

(21:01):
experiences to create a cinematic night out. Joining us now
is Emerald Emmy Capers, a Philiadadelphia based event curator, wedding
and event designer, digital marketing executive, and founder of Alchemy
and Ales by Emerald Capers. She's the visionary behind the
Regency Ball, which is happening on Sunday, April twelfth. So, Emmy,

(21:23):
for listeners who may have been hearing about it for
some time, what exactly is the Regency Ball and what
inspired you to create this fantasy inspired experience here in Philadelphia.

Speaker 7 (21:34):
So the Regency Ball is exactly what it sounds like.
It's actually a Regency inspired ball. I figured, you know,
most people have never in their life experienced a ball.
It's something that we watch on television, we see in
movies as little girls and little boys, and it's something
that we never actually get to experience. It's a thing
of the past, the thing of fantasy. And I am

(21:57):
a wedding planner my company Alchemy and Isles. I have
been doing weddings for years and I thought about the
fact that everyone only gets dressed up or wears a.

Speaker 2 (22:07):
Ball gown for their wedding day.

Speaker 7 (22:09):
What if that wasn't the case. What if you got
to get dressed up and it wasn't for someone else's wedding,
It wasn't for a work function, it wasn't for a
fundraising gala. It was just so that you could immerse
yourself and pretend to be a princess or a prince
for the day. And that's kind of where the Regency
Ball came up. It'll be our third year. Our first year,
it was a brunch, our second year, it was a ball.
Now people will get to come and I don't want

(22:30):
to say live out their fantasy but because it's definitely
more mature than that, but they will get to feel
like their childhood self for a moment.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
Well so, emmy guess we'll be experiencing live music, including
a candlelight concert with the violinist and harpist, and even
a waltz session and lesson. How do these interactive elements
help make the event feel immersive?

Speaker 7 (22:51):
I really wanted for the moment they step in and
them to step into a different world or time period,
so when they they actually walk right into a waltz performance,
and then they'll actually get to learn the steps. I
know right now, strending online are dances from the recital

(23:13):
that was in a Bridgerton episode, So I think it'll
be really fun for people to get to experience some
of these things for themselves. And then the Candlelight concert,
we wanted to keep the music classical but fun, so
we brought in a Faith the violinist that's her Instagram.
This will be her third year working with us, and

(23:35):
she does classical renditions of popular R and B songs.
And the harpist is actually originally a part of a
I guess a classical hip hop duo, but it will
be just her. She will be doing the same thing,
kind of blending a mix of R and B, hip
hop and pop in a classical style.

Speaker 1 (23:53):
Oh that sounds great. It sounds like Bridgeton music because
they take basic pop music and trans into sort of
like a quartet during the instrument performances, which are really delightful. Now,
fashion is a big highlight of the night. What are
you encouraging guests to wear and how does the style

(24:13):
element turn the ballroom into a living runway.

Speaker 7 (24:17):
Yeah, so I actually started in fashion, so I love, love,
love fashion, and I want things to be Regency inspired.
If you want to go out and get full costume.
Please do if you have a dress in the closet
that you can throw a corsett and some gloves on,
I think that's always a great economic decision plug Amazon,

(24:37):
and for the guys, if you have a great suit
and you want to maybe buy a shirt that has
like a pup sleeve or like a cumber bun or
extended collar, those are ways that you can incorporate the
Regency in it without having to break the bank. We
do have a really cool partnership with wax Poetic Clothing,
which is a clothing boutique based in Philadelphia, and she

(24:58):
sounds really interesting and some of them lean towards this,
I could say like cottage core, Regency, even Gothic trendition
styles of clothing. Pairing address from her with a corsett
would be amazing. She's running some discounts for the ball
and we even have Brown Sugar Nail Salon doing discounts

(25:18):
to get your Bridgerton inspired or your Regency inspired manicures.
So I want people to really have fun with this.
If they've always wanted to wear a ball out, now
is the time.

Speaker 4 (25:28):
Now.

Speaker 1 (25:28):
Food is a big part of the evening and storytelling
is happening through food. Tell us more about that.

Speaker 7 (25:34):
Sure, So we're actually solidifying some elements to the menu,
but the menu is mostly Mediterranean inspired, with we will
have some influences during the past appetizers by the other
cultures that are represented and some of these favorite shows
of ours, including both guilded Age and Bridgerton. But we

(25:56):
will be including some bites that lean towards Indian food,
and lean towards even soul food to represent African Americans
and black cultures, and leaning towards some Asian inspired flavors
in the appetizers. So we're really going to run the
gambit in the appetizers so people can experience different types

(26:18):
of food, and then Mediterranean, Italian and Greek leaning for
the buffet dinner so that it's cohesive.

Speaker 1 (26:25):
Yeah, that sounds really great and it sounds like it
reflects the colorblind casting of Rigiiton, which I absolutely adore.

Speaker 2 (26:33):
Yes, I think my favorite part about that show now.

Speaker 1 (26:36):
One of the big events in the first season and
it kind of continues on in subsequent seasons, is the
diamond of the season. It's kind of this big in
a way, a competition for the most beautiful person in
the Bridgeton World. You do have a fun moment in
the evening which is the crowning of the diamond of

(26:58):
the season, and tell us about this tradition, what it
represents and how the moment will play out during the event.

Speaker 7 (27:04):
Yeah, so for us, it's our diamond, our bell of
the ball is really how we lean into it and
our Queen will be able to crown one guest. Actually,
one of our guests last year was crowned as our
bell as our diamond, and she won a free ticket
to the next ball, so she'll becoming complimentary this year.

(27:25):
She actually traveled in from Florida last year, so she
will be coming back from Florida and staying at a
room block we have at the Canopy, so she'll be
staying there and that was her prize, is that she
gets to attend and get her ticket for free. So
we're really excited to have her back. It was a
really special moment that we actually have recorded, and we
went around and asked all of the vendors and all

(27:46):
of us that were involved in the planning and setup,
and that's how we were able to choose our diamond
or our bell this last year and so this year
we'll do the same. We've a lot of vendors involved,
and so it gets a little difficult to have the
guests vote just because.

Speaker 2 (28:02):
There's just so many people.

Speaker 7 (28:03):
So we've left it to all of the different vendors
to kind of throw their vote in the ring.

Speaker 1 (28:08):
Okay, it sounds lovely. So if people would like to
attend the Regency Ball, which is happening on Sunday, April twelfth,
from five to nine pm at midnight at Wicket in Philadelphia,
how do they find out more? And what's the web
address and all your social media?

Speaker 7 (28:24):
Yeah, so my social media is at Alchemy and Aisles,
and I guess it's a little confusing sometimes as well,
but it's al ch E m y A and d
Ai s l E s Alchemy and Aisles like a
wedding aisle. And they will be able to find the

(28:44):
ticket link right in my bio. They can also search
bucket list. If they type in the Regency Ball bucket list,
it should come right up for them. We are doing
this in conjunction with phl bucket List, so really really easy.
And then midnight in the Wicket is right in Center City.
So I apologize about parking, but the address Minette and

(29:05):
the Wicked at fifteen hundred Sansum Street. It is a
full immersive buy it of the venue, so you'll get
to experience something different in every single room. And like
I said, don't break the bank buying address, find something
in your closet if you have it, or head on
over to wax Poetic Clothing and Order.

Speaker 2 (29:21):
Of course, that and you're ready to go.
