YOU added the emphasis.

"Vintage Computer Festival" is a brand that will turn 20 years old next 
year. There is tremendous value for being associated with it. We do all 
the marketing, write the checks, and so on. If someone wants to find out 
how much work it is to start a successful event, then I wish them the 
best of luck.
