0:00.0	All right, guys. So one quick special announcement and one off, but not really a one-off,
0:10.2	because we're going to repeat this every week until you're sick and tired of seeing us
0:13.2	talk about this or hear about it. But just a quick special announcement, we've gotten several
0:19.0	requests to take the show on the road,
0:21.5	and we're going to do that to a degree. I'm going to let my partner spill the beans on that.
0:27.1	Go for it, John. Okay. So we've already talked about the fact that we are going to be doing the
0:32.0	Greenville, Texas history roundtable. That is going to be on the evening of August the 20th in Greenville, Texas.
0:41.3	But we will also be back in Texas during the month of October at the National Museum for the Pacific War for their conference in October.
0:54.1	Seth and I are actually going to be doing a Q&A on Friday. War for their conference in October.
1:00.0	Seth and I are actually going to be doing a Q&A on Friday the 16th.
1:05.1	So we're kind of the entertainment for that evening starting at 5 p.m.
1:11.2	And by the time this episode airs, tickets for that will be on sale at the National Museum for the Pacific War's website or of the Pacific War, I should say. So look for that because we will both
1:17.1	be there in all our glory. And I will also be doing another talk on Saturday. John McManus will be
1:22.4	there as well. So it should be a really fun weekend. The other thing I want to mention is that if you are in Minnesota or in Vyron's,
1:32.5	I am going to be having a book release party for 1942 Crux of War at the Fort Snelling Visitors Center on Friday, July 17th.
1:43.1	And I will be putting together an event bright site for that
1:48.4	so that people can sign up. If they want to buy a book, I will be selling books there. I think I'll
1:53.3	be selling them for five bucks off. You can get it for 40 bucks. So if you want to make a road
1:58.1	trip to Minneapolis or you're already here in the neighborhood,
2:02.2	feel free to sign up for that and give us an RSVP.
2:06.2	And I look forward to seeing you there.
2:08.2	So there you have it.
