Welcome back to another 15 minutes of fame. Andy jensen on the other side of me, right here. Andy is the owner of bonfire brewing. He is also the founder and creator of bonfire block party in eagle, co. About a 5,000 person event, concert. Three days. It's such a good concert. Sometimes i'm not sure how many days I was there. Andy has dealt with the curveball of coronavirus living in a mountain community. Also being, like I just said, a concert producer, along with his team and then also owning a brewery and being a local business in eagle and just feeling it from like, every friggin' side. Wow, talk about getting in a fistfight with mike tyson and just not really being bigger than you are already right now. Andy, tell us who you are. What you own. What you do. Where you've been. How things are. Andy jessen of bonfire brewing and bonfire block party. Along with my wife amanda and our team of 17 full-time employees here in eagle, co. We've been around since, the winter of 2010. We're coming up on our 10-year anniversary and 8th anniversary of the block party. You can say your local. You could start putting stickers on your subaru and your black lab. You can name him woof. You're a local. You're embedded in the businesses. Right now you've got the brewery, which is its own beast. You've got the event that essentially grows into being its own beast. Last year we had 5,000 people there. 5,000 on friday and 6,000 on saturday. It was packed. Town was packed and it was awesome. This is definitely one of those concerts right now that is just so locally charged. People supporting it. You originally wanna have the bonfire block party in june? Voila, here comes corona. When are you having it now? We just recently announced a postponement to august 28-30, 2020. The last weekend in august. Andy started thinking about that honestly towards the end of february, once the first cases started showing up in the united states. Amanda's a former public health professional. She got worried about this a lot sooner than the rest of the team did. Then when it really started to hit and we started to hear the words "social distancing", that's when we put everything on pause.
