Right? Alright, let's get going. So, the first thing I want to talk about then today is that we're changing our venue a little bit here, so you, I don't know, we might be in Greece right now. Maybe you see us in Greece?

We kind of teased you about it last week. It is live and running. If you go to SeeTucsonHomes.com, you'll see this this picture, there's a click button and a video, and, uh, it's us giving a tour of that house. You can get an inside— insider's view of it. You, um, actually pretend you're Captain Kirk in that video. So you'll see Darren beam around the house or something funny. Uh, let us know what you think. Please give us comments on our videos because we, uh, we need to know what you're thinking about the videos. Okay, so, um, let's get into, um, something hot, something Greek, and something scary. I'm gonna give that to you.
Okay, all right. I want everybody, uh, last night, tonight, tomorrow night is the Greek Festival over at the Greek Orthodox Church.
And I don't know how to do— no, that's Russian.
There's— we're gonna have music, food, amazing desserts. It's a lot of fun. It's a great cultural event, and you should really go out and support them. It's a lot of fun, and it's been in Tucson forever. It's an icon.
Darren will be on stage tonight doing the Greek traditional dancing.
Darren will not be on stage tonight doing traditional Greek dancing, just as a disclaimer.
I told a lot of people you would be.
Yeah, I know, I know. Also, tomorrow, Sunday, is Tequila and Trumpets at Playground. So that's a great brunch, a little fun something to do for Sunday. And also this weekend is the the Chili Fest at Rieto Park. So go check that out if you haven't got your Hatch chilies, if you're a chili fan, if you like good food, they'll have lots of stuff going on out there.
That's a farmer's market thing, that should be really cool.
That's at Rieto Park. There's a lot of fun things going on.
There's music. No Greek dancing there though.
No.
Only at the Greek Festival is that allowed. Yeah. Right, okay.
So now I also want you to go to the calendar and you can, if you want more information about the Greek Festival, you can just type in Greek and it'll pull it up. You can do a leader that way. Next week we have the Oro Valley Music Festival. There's the Tucson balloon tours have started, the Fleurs de Tucson.
We did that tour.
We did a couple years ago.
And it's amazing.
It is.
I'm gonna stop you right there. You have to take that tour. You get, you fly above the world and it's just stunning and quiet and peaceful and it's beautiful. So do the balloon tour. Balloons. It's awesome. If you're afraid of heights, you won't be. It's really cool.
No, it's not.
It's really cool.
It's great. Also, um, Nightfall at, uh, Old Tucson Studio is starting next weekend. Amazing. And then, uh, what was the other thing we had?
So the, the night—
the Saba Fall Home Show is coming up.
Yeah, there's Garden Fall Garden Home Show. We'll be there. Um, and the cool thing is, uh, Nightfall, there's all kinds of fun Halloween stuff coming. Which is really cool. Oh, we're in a scary—
look at that.
Look, don't go there. Don't go here. It's very terrifying. I'm gonna hide behind you. Wait, how do I hide behind you on this? Okay, uh, the, uh, that's really fun. Look, go this way. I feel like we're walking into something really bad.
I'm being eaten by a giant pumpkin.
By a giant pumpkin. Uh, the nightfall is really fun, and there's the There's other stuff we'll come up with next week.
We'll talk about— We'll tell you more about it next week. But check it out on the calendars.
Come on out. I don't have any money with me today.
Well, there's a lot more of it.
I know. So we dug in a little deeper on the Pathway to Purchase Down Payment Assistance Program information. I forgot to show you all the money, but pretend I have some money in my hands. The reality is, is that there was something went on and there was some negotiations. There's plenty of money now designated for Tucson, Arizona. It should last another 4 to 5 months is the guess. So we're back and rolling. So if you want to sell your house, you want to use that money, we can help you with that. If you are a first-time home buyer or a second buyer, whatever, we can help you buy a house with that money. So this is like the best program I've ever seen. Call us and we'll walk you through that. Also at seetucsonhomes.com If you click on, look, go this way. Go like that. If you click on that, look, point there. If you click on that, that is a bunch of people with money falling around. Click on that on the top of seachestownhomes.com and you will go to all the information about the Pathway to Purchase program. And also today I want to talk about, if you're not using this, this is a cool program. It's called Venmo, V-E-N-M-O. It's an app. And you load Venmo onto your phone and then you invite your friends in just like you do with most social things., but this one is for paying people. So a friend of ours just invited us out to see a comedian and bought the tickets. And so what I said to him was, hey, I won't see you until the showtime, which is in a month. Go ahead and hit a request on Venmo, which he did, and it gave me the exact amount of the tickets that we owe for, right? And we want him to have his money back right away. So I immediately just went in and I see his request. I click a button that says pay and my charge card immediately pays his. So really awesome.
So if any of my friends who owe me money, it's like, please request us on Venmo.
Time to pay us back. Hey, I didn't think about that. That's freaking funny. Um, so that's my, uh, app and technology thing for today. And, uh, anything else you want to talk about? We're trying to keep this a little shorter for you. We're good.
I think we're good.
