FYI Calendar of Grant and Funding Deadlines, June 10, 2019

Hilary Duff’s kids were asleep on the tour bus as it pulled up to Austin’s Germania Insurance Amphitheater. It was 5 a.m., but Duff, high on adrenaline from her show the previous night, was wide-awake — just like she’d been for the seven nights prior. She hoped to finally get some sleep, but unfortunately for her, the amphitheater is next to the Circuit of the Americas racetrack, and a fleet of F1 cars were just starting their day.

“It was like, feeoooo, feeoooo, feeeoooo,” Duff says, approximating the sound of those cars throttling by at 150 miles an hour. Staring down another day of being a mother before getting onstage to be a pop star, Duff was on the verge of malfunction.
