Good evening, everyone.

I want to welcome you to Wild Rose Cafe.

My name is Bart.

I'm one of the owners here, and we are so glad to share this evening with you because we value

three things here, is caffeine, creativity, and community.

And I think that these ladies in their podcasts really exemplify both the creativity part and the community part as evidenced by how far some of you have traveled to be here.

And so just want to let you know we will do our best to get caught up on drinks.

If you didn't get a drink order in, you can sneak over there.

There'll be an intermission.

We'll be serving drinks at intermission as well.

We did not check our pre-sale folks at the door, so we're going to go on the honors system.

Thank you all so much for buying tickets because it allows us to host great events like this.

So that's an emergency exit over there.

It's not a bathroom.

Don't be awkward.

Bathrooms are that way.

There's one on either side.

If you go too far, that's a mop sink.

Don't use it.

Okay?

We have a health code here.

Without further ado, will you please help me welcome for our criminally caffeinated live podcast,

...
