This was at the foot of two escalators that were half outdoors, half underground. On the right hand side was Adam (i think that’s what this was, Adam and Eve)

Okay so this is a really strange way of doing this. But right now I have to be somewhat secretive about who gets this information. So there are some very exciting events taking place and potentially happening this spring. If any of you are curious, hit reply and then I’ll email you with the news!
