You know related to00:24:06the festival that it's something that's happening in the you know outside of the00:24:09festival self it seems to be an often issue not a festival issue and we asked00:24:14a few attendees what you know whether security is00:24:17a concern whether this incident unnerve them and for the most part they said no I00:24:22mean the fact that we're here we're more aware that crazy things like this do00:24:28happen and it's you know especially in light of what's been happening in the news00:24:32in the last year but they say it's just it's just00:24:36a matter of being vigilant when they're at00:24:37a concert they're more aware of maybe backpacks left on the floor or in00:24:42a corner and that they're there you know they will definitely seek out did they see00:24:47something unusual but it's not going to keep them from enjoying the festival and00:24:51the festival goes on for the rest of the week that's right and so there will be00:24:55many many more days when they'll be concerts and performers to showcase their art00:25:01and you also have taken in some other things beyond just the music and I know I was00:25:06particularly interested to read this morning in the post in the newspaper about00:25:10this 3 D.00:25:11Printer that can make ah house for $10000.00 we're going to try and get that price00:25:15down to 4000 dollars but this 3 D.00:25:17Printer can make00:25:18a house for $10000.00 yeah and this is this was announced here at South by00:25:24Southwest and it's a partnership between an Austin base company called icon and00:25:29a nonprofit called new story in the nonprofit goal is to create more housing00:25:35especially in developing countries and their goal is to make00:25:39a house that's anywhere from 600 to 800 square feet and under 24 hours for less00:25:46than $4000.00 Why did they say they can build this home under unpredictable00:25:52conditions such as limited power and water even if there's00:25:57a limited labor infrastructure that they can somehow build this house that is safe00:26:02enough to Sanders.
