3:25

One of the strike years.

Henry San MiguelHost

3:26

Yes.

Yeah.

3:28

It's like a good three years, two or three years ago.

3:30

Yeah.

3:30

But yeah, the strikes were going on.

3:32

3:36

It was still Comic-Con, but not Comic-Con.

Henry San MiguelHost

3:40

Yeah.

Henry San MiguelHost

3:40

You guys definitely have not done Hall H.

Henry San MiguelHost

3:43

That is correct.

Henry San MiguelHost

3:43

The whole Hall H adventure.

3:45

Yeah, I've had a lot
