Post-Labor Day M&A?

Are you guys expecting to be really busy post Labor Day? Our group never really slowed down over the summer but also there was a general consensus that second half would be slower than the first. Seeing a lot more pitch and discussion materials come up recently too. Wondering how other groups are looking for the rest of the year.

You guys never really slowed down? Wow, that's surprising, since general deal activity has slowed down precipitously since early spring.

You doing live deals, or mostly pitching?
