All right, well, we have two weeks, but before we begin, this weekend was going to be City Safari, uh, in Boston for a lot of us in, in the, in the States.

Luis PalaciosHost

4:14

However, unfortunately, that did not happen.

Luis PalaciosHost

4:18

I wanted to actually get this out of the way because I'm sure that a lot of people have been a little bit pissed, but here's an event update real quick.

Luis PalaciosHost

4:24

So, uh, "Trainers, the Pokemon Go team has, uh, been monitoring the weather forecast for the Boston metropolitan area.

Luis PalaciosHost

Due to the projected severity of the incoming storm, the City Safari Boston will be rescheduled to a later date.

Luis PalaciosHost

Luis PalaciosHost

5:03

Uh, "Details regarding the rescheduled event of options for existing ticket holders will be shared as soon as possible." Um, we had had a little bit of backlash on this.

Luis PalaciosHost

5:13

Now, I have...

Luis PalaciosHost

5:15

I ha- was actually monitoring the, uh, the weather over at Boston.

Luis PalaciosHost

I was planning to go.

Luis PalaciosHost

5:22

I had this weekend already taken off and everything, so I'm taking a couple extra days right now.

Luis PalaciosHost

5:26

Uh, I...

Luis PalaciosHost

Luis PalaciosHost

5:37

But for a lot of people, this announcement happened a day, maybe two days.

Luis PalaciosHost
