00:00:11.119 --> 00:00:12.320
Can I say hi?
00:00:13.039 --> 00:00:13.279
Hi.
00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:18.640
The year was 2026, and Ryan was so tired.
00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:20.640
Welcome to the Stage Five Speak Easy.
00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:21.839
Cover charge.
00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:23.839
Your sanity.
00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:28.559
Welcome back to the Backstage Huddle, and it's looking a little different this time around, if you can't tell.
00:00:28.719 --> 00:00:31.280
Just over here with an absolutely filthy studio.
00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:33.439
Sometimes we forget that we're allowed to pause.
00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:35.280
And that's exactly what Ray and I are doing.
00:00:35.359 --> 00:00:38.320
We're pausing this week on releasing a full podcast.
00:00:38.479 --> 00:00:41.439
I invite you to take a rest in the chaos with me.
00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:42.320
Take a deep breath.
00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:50.159
But you know, while you're here and while we're hanging out, I want to personally invite you to something that is incredibly special to us.
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:57.119
On July 28th, Rachel and I are celebrating the release of our very first Touring Tales children's book.
00:00:57.280 --> 00:00:59.600
Yes, yes, you heard Touring Tales.
00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:03.359
So these are children's books written specifically for our industry.
00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:04.400
Are there any others?
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:05.599
Not that we have found.
00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:07.920
The first book is called The Invisible Backpack.
00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:09.920
And July 28th, 6 p.m.
00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:10.799
to 8 p.m.
00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:20.640
at Homestead Manor here in Thompson Station, we will be hosting our book release party! Most authors do book release parties before their book is actually released.
00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:26.799
Well, we are not a traditional organization, so we decided to have a very untraditional book release party.
00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:27.920
And here's what I mean by that.
00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:31.920
We wanted it to feel like Stagewives, where community comes first.
00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:37.200
So we've invited some of our favorite people and organizations from the music industry to join us.
00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:48.480
They will be there as vendors, they will be there as guests, there will be resources for touring families, there will be so many activities for kids, and of course, lots of opportunities to connect with each other.
00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:54.719
Whether you've been with Stagewives for a long time or you're brand new to the community, we really hope that you come and celebrate with us.
00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:58.239
You are what makes Stagewives special, and it wouldn't be the same without you.
00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:06.799
So come say hi, grab a hug, grab some charcuterie, grab some free giveaways, meet some incredible people, get a signed copy of the book.
00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:13.520
Or if you just want to come hang out and enjoy a night of being among people who get this lifestyle, like come on.
00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:15.120
We cannot wait for you to be there.
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:18.800
It's gonna be a really fun night, but in the meantime, take a breath, take a day off.
00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:22.080
And I hope this video has been proof that we practice what we preach.
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:26.879
The pizza has been ordered, the house is a mess, but we are prioritizing peace, everybody.
00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:31.520
Love you so much, Stagewife, and I will see you on July 28th.
00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:32.639
Let's go.
00:00:11.119 --> 00:00:12.320
Can I say hi?
00:00:13.039 --> 00:00:13.279
