Just because G&A was up $68m doesn't mean it was all spent on that one party...

Edit: never mind, the report clarifies that without the party expense G&A would have been flat YoY.

laying of 50% of your workforce is the obvious solution. next year the party will only be $34 million. repeat that 4 more times and you get down to just over $4 million.
