And we have some GREAT STUFF coming up!
Friday night, we're in a GORGEOUS performing arts center in Gas City, IN. 🤩
And then next Friday, May 1st — we're doing our FIRST-EVER 80s kids show in CHICAGOOOO!! 😍
And then Saturday, May 2nd — we'll be in STL for what will most likely be a SOLD OUT show ... I think there literally only a few more tickets left. 🤯
If you're in one of the places we're headed, we can't wait to see you. Big love to all of you – s

It's taken me until today to start feeling like myself again. Whew! 💃🏻 50-year-olds on tour! 🕺 But today I feel great. We managed to exercise a little last night before bed. We found healthy food to eat today. (The rule on tour is: if you see a vegetable, eat it. 😂) We had such a great beginning to tour, and I'm just so grateful for that.

Hello from somewhere on I-44, where we gratefully found a lovely little poke place for dinner, on the third of four driving days from SoCal to the Midwest on the 80s kids tour!
Not gonna lie: while the opening weekend of tour was amazeballs, my body and brain were T-I-R-E-D at the end of 3 back-to-back shows and a couple of late-night hangs with dear friends.

👉🏻 Listen, I need you to hear this: booking all of these venues has been possible in large part because of the *tremendous* support YOU ALL have given us these last couple of years as we've chased down our vision to bring what we do into bigger spaces.
Your enthusiasm and support mean *everything* to the success of our mission to bring the joyful experience of 80s kids all over the country this year ... and, my god, do we need the joy right now. ❤️‍🩹

It’s a big, huge, cool tour! 🤯

I'm inviting in only a select few sources of news or news analysis these days — because it remains a value of mine to be aware of what's happening, so that I can know if/when/how I can respond when I need to — and they are all sources that are thoughtful, unsensational, and rooted in humanitarian values.
One such source is the semi-daily newsletter by historian Timothy Snyder, and I want to shout this from the rooftops:
Today's newsletter is REQUIRED READING:

I don't know about you, but I have trimmed down my news intake A LOT in the last month and a half.
I realized that getting news alerts on my phone made my cortisol shoot up, and listening to the newsy podcasts I used to listen to regularly was actively hampering my mental heath.
So I've radically pared down what I allow into my consciousness as an act of self care. Ya feel me?

Holy moly WHAT A NIGHT! Y’all: the final night of our 80s kids campaign was INCREDIBLE.
There’s still time to support the campaign, it’ll be up at shannoncurtis.net through Tuesday.
Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who has supported this project. We promise to use every dollar of that support to bring MAXIMUM JOY to people in 2025. We couldn’t do it without you.
Love y’all so much. 😘😘😘

Friends! (mostly US friends, I think?) It's gonna be quite a week.
What are your plans for being good to yourselves in the midst of it?
Sound off in the replies; I think we could all use the inspo. xoxo 🤍
