Press Play Tour Schedule

Hey Teen.

It's me, I am making this video to practice a

little bit about Prezi and also to share with you

some big dream ideas that I have in kind of

a roadmap for how to get there.

Um, I'm gonna warn you, first of all that these

are some pie in the sky potentials based off of

the trajectory of everything that we've just discussed so far

and kind of bringing in all the information um that

we've been receiving.

Um and I wanted to let you know that each

step has essentially a benchmark Where we get to one

step and there's a, if things are good.

And so I've made this sign for us, it's called

assuming success, so assuming success.

What this means is that each step in the process

I'm going to outline has um, goals, metrics, um, benchmarks

essentially to let us know that we are at a

certain milestone and we're okay to look at, um, you

know, is the next step going to be the best

move, or do we need to kind of re strategize?

So, this is just a kind of a fun thought

experiment, and when she did just kind of go along

with me, it's basically um kind of one potential storyline

for press play sound good.

All right.

Our story begins in indiana.

Um this is Trip coming up here at the end

of july going to uh Fort Wayne Pride and um

kind of walking around finding any other events that are

there and just doing some press practice runs, um exploring

kind of what our presence wants to look like at

events, very low key, low risk practicing filming things like

that. Um We will have a questionnaire at this point

that people can fill out and we can start gathering

some information.

I'd like to be able to host that on our

website by the time that I get to indiana and

I think that's easy to do.

Um and then we will be doing song story interviews

using these guys assuming that our patents go.

Um, the direction that allows us to do that we

can just, you know, throw it out there, see what

kind of interviews we get.

Um try out the identity button.

Um really just kind of tuning in, um planning that

kind of good stuff.

All right following that theoretically we have a presence at

Lollapalooza or given an email that just came in a

few minutes ago.

We'll see if that's the case if we're going to

do something else.

Um, Lollapalooza, I see the purpose.

They're really just starting to reach out network, talk to

people at music festivals.

Um, have the questionnaire, have the N.

D. A.

S. Have the identity button.

Um, and the goal would be to hopefully also have

um the closed beta beat one on our our our

tablets. Um Excuse me.

So it will be on our tablets.

Um if we're having a conversation with someone that's meaningful

and they want to check out what we're doing, we

do it, but we're not going out there to market,

we don't want to make anybody upset.

Um This would just be something, you know, as we

network as we talk about people out, talk with people

outside the festival.

Um really just kind of getting our feet wet.

Um getting back out there into the world, all of

that good stuff continuing to plan for what's to come.

I promise this is going to get a little bit

more interesting.

Alright. The next thing that happens is we get to

Los Angeles on August five.

I know that Tina and her son will have plenty

of things to do.

I've already um lined up my friends Patricia, my friend

Patricia and my cousin Alyssa and I think we can

find some more people to join us.

Um uh as we do some street interviews by this

point I'd like to have guitar picks and the topics

can have a Q.

R. Code that is unique to whoever is giving the

QR code out so that we can actually track progress.

Who is getting the most scans based off of who

is getting the most hits to their link.

Um And the link actually takes someone to an invite

to what's going to be our next step, which is

the close beta launch party.

Um and it also takes them to fill out the

questionnaire which is their ticket into the closed beta launch

party. So basically what this looks like is myself, jake

Patricia Alyssa.

Whoever else comes with us, that's game and wants to

try it.

We go out somewhere that's kind of a poppin area.

We walk up to someone, um, I would love to

have like a gold microphone by the way, like bluetooth,

that's a total of side.

Um, and we say, hey, would you like to talk

about music?

And we go through song story questions.

Maybe we listen to music together on headphones.

We basically form a bond in a connection with that

person and see um, you know, from that, if they're

interested in coming to the launch party and there we

go. We're starting to drum up some social media.

This is really where we are flushing out our social

media. We're doing some tic Tac's.

Um, we're talking about our closed beta launch.

This is kind of where um, we're really sharing out

into the world in a bigger way.

So this is exciting.

Now, moving on to the end of our trip, we

have our closed beta launch party, our opening act, theoretically.

This maybe at Lance fastest club open to other suggestions

there. This is the first time anyone can download the

closed beta application to their phones.

Okay. And so what's great about this is that, you

know, We should have hopefully gone through the beat one

mark. So you'll know what I'm talking about there.

Um, I want to try to speed up this because

I'm noticing I'm late for our meeting.

Okay, let me speed up so lots of cool stuff

we can do with this closed beta.

The most important thing is that you can see the

number of people you match with, but that's all.

And because we are literally only going to allow people

to match from within that event, it will be really

interesting to see what kind of matches are there.

Then, from the back end we could have, you know,

West on his laptop, doing console commands.

Do you figure out who's matching with you or, you

know, whatever it takes to great matches that we then

introduce those people right then and there we shine spotlights

on them, you know, whatever we want to do to

really liven up kind of this experience, if all of

that is going well, if our launch party has like

buzz and people are showing up and everyone loves it,

so assuming success, we dr we, we should hopefully know

this before the actual launch party and we can pull

the trigger, potentially purchase the bus, the creamsicle flexible bus

and drive it up to the party, which would be

huge. It would be a total surprise.

No one would know about it.

Um, if we could get some musician of, you know,

any kind of notoriety to come out of the bus

and play a small, little private set, that would be

amazing as a potential.

Um, but otherwise basically, we pull up the bus and

we announce our tour.

So what the tour is going to be is, um,

we're going to go down, I think that I haven't

written, Okay, There we go.

Then we announced our seven tour.

Uh, I'd like to actually have tour posters and an

idea of kind of, even if it's, you know, three

cities going down south or up north, it depends on

when we want to schedule this tour.

If you go up north, um, we could do it

through the rest of the summer, Lots of options there.

Um, but we can start with just a few events

and always announced new events as we continue to plan

and announcing the tour doesn't mean we have to go

on it right away.

In fact, the next thing that we do is we

go on our road trip bringing the bus back to

colorado so we can finish restoring it and renovating it,

potentially finished converting my bus, if it makes sense at

that point.

Um, continuing to record video to develop the application.

Um, hopefully at some point we get word that where

you've signed a deal with one of the labels that's

more press, like all of these things can be press

releases as well and, and super big news on top

of just a very small app experience.

We can also be releasing questions over time.

Moving on.

We actually head out on our tour and I do

have notes.

So, I'm just gonna get through this.

This is all right, All right, just on my notes.

I want to hop back in really quick.

Um, So what happens on the Southern tour is we

have the various events.

People sign up to be on the wait list prior

to us coming near to them near to their city.

Um, They can, yes, yeah, yeah, on this one.

So they can come to the party once there at

the party.

They can download the app, only those set number of

people. Um, and we can see how many matches are

there and how many matches were all throughout the tour.

So what's great about this is that the people who

are earlier in the tour can actually watch as we

continue to tour and their numbers continue to go up.

So that could be really fun.

Lots of social media content Along the way, we kind

of know how this would go assuming success.

This leads up to the Sound Check Music Festival in

Columbia City.

I think that we could do this at a variety

of scales.

It could be very smaller, it could be bigger.

I'd love to see, um, us be able to put

a pop up bed and breakfast and pop up recording

studio in Tina's office.

Um, put a pop up like little kind of open

mic night style.

Um, like uh, one of those calls, yeah, basically do

open mic nights in Tina's store below.

Um, we could put a boho kind of red carpet

through the park in her alleyway that looks straight up

to the courthouse.

Lots of really cool photogenic things.

And it would be supported by this long tour.

This anticipation, there's lots of networking.

So I think again, assuming success that we get there.

Um, you know, if we get there, it's because there

was a reason and it was helpful for us to

get there and I think that we can do this

at a much cheaper, faster way just through partnering with

the city.

Um, we could do this at one of the last

weekends of the farmers market and have the farmers market

actually be there during the quote unquote festival and basically

be like part of our vendors and, you know, a

lot of cool ways.

I think that you could leverage your connections in the

city if you so choose um, to work with some

of the other stores on Main Street and things like

that, so everyone can kind of participate.

All right.

So assuming success assuming that festival goes very well.

We launched the next tour.

Um, we'll go a different area and hit different cities.

So if we did Southern, we'll do Northern.

If we did Northern multi Southern, you get the idea,

But what we're going to be doing here at this

launch is um, we, yes, so we will be going

to our targeted music cities and doing the launch in

the full city to the closed beta without matching.

Without like full matching and messaging.

So at this point you can add song story questions

and you can watch your numbers go up in that

city again, I know that, you know, we want to

really get to the matching, but we'll do a lot

of that through like events where we will invite to

people who match and, you know, kind of film them

meeting out of the event or um, you know, you

can enter and maybe you could get tickets with you

and your song mate you haven't met yet.

Kind of like a blind date sort of thing is

what I'm thinking, but in any way, um people will

be able to input their song story in that city

but not see who they're matching with, They'll see how

many people can match with.

Um and again, the real excitement is that we're starting

to build an influence there following a social following that

wants to kind of see this story and wants to

see the human stories along the way.

If you haven't heard of humans of new york, that's

kind of wearing curtains, all of this.

Um but yeah, so we go on our next tour

back to California, um, assuming success, we can set some

of our adventures into like music video format with song

story questions that were prominent throughout the way we can

have people contribute, like their road trip playlists and we

listen to people's road trip playlists or the, you know,

the song story question answers for that question as we

go, lots of ways we can continue to connect with

our following.

Um, even while we're working on the app in the

back end.

Okay, so assume success, we get back to Hollywood and

we do a Hollywood film premiere at this point.

We would expect to see a big, big following.

People will have taken notice at this point, or we

won't probably do something like this.

This is again assuming success.

Um, so, real fun event we can do there and

what this does is we now do an open beta

so that the whole United States, it's still, you can

only answer song story questions and see the match number,

that's all that it is.

But everybody can do it.

And again, people, we want this to look like, like

a lot of number.

For some reason, people are just going to obsess over.

Um, the other big thing that we're going to do

here is we're going to announce, um, if it's a

concept that, that wins out through testing to build collective

song stories or radio stations built off of two or

more peoples song stories, um, we can announce that Feast

future and we can announce, um, record breaking biggest wave

wave across.
