It's an exciting time, ... I think at this point getting the record out is more relieving than anything. We finished it around Christmas, so a lot of people have been asking, 'Are you nervous' and 'Is there pressure' I'm thinking right now it's just going to be a relief, because from here on all we can do is just keep doing what we're doing and let it unfold.
