I don't think we can take for granted that we can have what we had (in Las Vegas) in 2003 just by opening the doors. We're going to have to work and market it. But the ultimate goal is to get people in the building and I'm all for that.
Great cultural conversation used to show up in poems and essays. It's alive and well but in superficial places like commercials.

It's essentially a miniseries that plays every March for every kind of audience to watch.
It was fun to watch these bad people get trashed, and Simon was really good at it. Which was why he became so well-known so quickly.
