Meet Me at Miss Patty's: Flannel & Foliage Preview

I am all in.

Again!

Meet me at Miss Patty's with Easton Allen. You got my message. You have met me at Miss Patty's. Hi, it's Easton Allen. Thanks for joining us on the I Am All In podcast. I'm having a blast. I'm having so much fun. Doing this, uh, comprehensive look and preview and review and experience of all the different Gilmore girls.

events going on all across these great 50 states of ours and around the world. We're not limiting this to the United States. It's fall, baby. Fall is here. And that means it is Gilmore season. And whether or not we can actually say the words Gilmore girls at some of these events, we're still going to be celebrating and having so much fun as the leaves change. Joining me this week, producer Jackie, you love producer Jackie, right? I know I do. Hey, Jackie, how's it going?

Good. What an intro. Thank you. Yes, I am here. It's going well.

This is going to be so fun. So coming up, not this weekend as you listen to this, but next weekend, October 20. Let me get my dates right here.

October 23rd to the 25th.

October 23rd to the 25th in Danville, California. That is in the Bay Area. Something really, really fun is happening. This is an event called Flannel and Foliage. It's an autumn weekend in Danville. And as they describe it, it's exclusive photo ops and cozy eats, festivities and coffee from your favorite quintessential 2000s TV show. I wonder which TV show that is. But we're going to be talking about that this weekend. We're going to talk about flannel and foliage.

It's coming up. And we have we're sending a very important reporter to flannel and foliage to experience it firsthand. We're going to give a preview of anyone listening today. In the California, Northern California area that wants to go to this. This is very exciting. Jackie, we were just talking about this before we hit record, but Gilmore Girls takes place on the East Coast.

Yes.

It's a Connecticut thing. The show, that's where it takes place. A lot of these events also happen on the East Coast. There's a lot of small towns there. Midwest, East Coast that turn into Stars Hollow, which I'm saying in quotes and I'm spelling Stars Hollow with a Z. But so in California, we get the really cool event at Warner Brothers at the lot where you get to see where the show is filmed. But other than that, it's, you know, you don't get as much of the Gilmore experience in California just because we don't really have seasons here. Exactly.

So this is really fun that this is going to happen in Danville. I've been to Danville many times. Yeah. Beautiful, luxurious Danville. If you haven't been, you got to go check it out.

Yes.

And, and I'm my add to this. Me and Eastern are both NorCal people.

We both live in SoCal now, but we are like born and bred NorCal people.

And so the fact.

That like you, they are bringing Gilmore girls here is just, it came out of nowhere. And I've been following this since they announced like, oh, we want to bring the festival, bring, you know, Stars Hollow to NorCal.

And I like, what?

Because I'm on the Instagram and that's what my algorithm feeds me.

So I was like, what is that? I'm like, that's cool.

And then there was three towns that they were choosing from. And I forget what the other one was, but Danville and Winters. Now, if you have ever been to Winters, I have a story behind this. My friend just bought a farm up in Winters and her house is gorgeous and beautiful. She wants to make a homestead. She makes lotions, oils, all this stuff.

All right.

And I went to go visit her, I want to say last year, to go see the new house and the farm. And she's like, oh, why don't you on your way out, take a drive through downtown? And I saw it and there's a gazebo in the middle. And I was like, this looks like Gilmore Girls. I literally stopped. And then there's these amazing houses. And so I was like, this would be perfect for Gilmore Girls.

Like, oh my gosh. And I even told her that.

And so when I saw the email pop up, they were deciding between which towns.

I was like, oh my gosh.

I told my friend, Emma, maybe going to your town for work, you know, but then they decided on Danville, which is great. I can't recall the last time I went to Danville. I know I've been there, but I remember thinking like, these towns are so cute because nobody really talks about like these small towns in NorCal. They do have small towns in NorCal like they do on the East Coast. So I like that this is going to be there. Plant on foliage.

The, Yes.

It's so exciting. I'm looking up Winters. I've never been to Winters, California. I'm looking up right now. It's in Western Sacramento area. That would have been great. Danville is a great choice as well. But you know, you know, it would be fun if you go to, if you're heading to Danville to experience fallen foliage, you can make a little trip out of it and visit some of these small towns across Northern and Central California. There's so many of them, as you said. So Danville, Danville is going to effectively become stars hollow, uh, the next weekend. And, uh, but that's not all there. There's a lot of fun stuff they have planned. So general emissions free. First of all, that is exciting. You get to just go in and

you can hang out. There's scavenger hunts. There's like live music, trivia sessions, autumn themed artisan markets. We love that. But if you want to, if you want to pony up some cash, uh, You can meet stars from the show. This lineup is nuts.

This lineup is stacked.

Insane.

Here we go. Kelly Bishop. Scott Patterson, of course. Sean Gunn. Emily Garota. Yannick Truesdale. John Cabrera and Todd Lowe. So, Hep Alien. Hello. Renie Bell, who's Lulu.

Katie Walder, who was Janet, who was Rory's Yale roommate, who worked out a lot.

Rona Benson. Stan Zimmerman. This.

Lineup is so stacked.

So stacked. It's crazy. Like, like this is something I would expect to see it like a comic-con or something like, like The fact that these people are all coming to Danville, California is so exciting. Kelly Bishop, such a highlight. I mean, she doesn't do that much stuff like in terms of the Gilmore events. So this is really, really exciting. Scott Patterson, I've been dying to meet him. I'm really jealous of everyone that gets to go to that. I can't imagine what it's like to meet Scott Patterson. And he's doing like a, you can do like a coffee with him, right?

I saw that you can have coffee with, and I think maybe with Sean Gunn too. Did I see that correctly? Yes.

Yeah they have all these things going on for for them like then you can even do like a toast with kelly bishop and everything oh.

My goodness that that is so fun uh when so danville california it is uh in the east bay and uh in in san ramon valley in contra costa county california uh it is um and uh Danville is a great California small town. I'm on their Wikipedia right now, and I just want to point out that they're one of the incorporated municipalities in California that use town in their names instead of city. It's the town of Danville.

They are not a city. So they have the official designation of being a small town.

Yes, they do. Yeah.

Big railroad town. There's lots of biking and hiking paths and trails. It's known as the San Ramon Valley. Big railroad town, Danville. So if you are looking for that quirky small town experience, you're going to get it in Danville, California, right there nestled in the diablo range of uh of the um san ramon valley uh this is this is gonna be a really really fun time um yeah the i see they're they're hosting some trivia uh trivia sessions with i'm sure some great prizes how do you do those kind of trivia things jackie are you are you pretty good.

At oh i'm so good at trivia random trivia okay so we had, um, for work, we had a big, uh, dinner at, um, Nobu like a few years ago.

Oh yes.

And Jared, I can, or Jared, um, Haven and Ashley, I can, Eddie were there and Jared and Ashley own.

Yeah.

They own a coffee shop and they do trivia at their coffee shop. So I was sitting at a table with them. And then I remember Jared busting out, like he has on his notes app trivia. And I was the one at the table.

It was like Waterloo. This, this, this, like, and people were like, what?

I was like, I have no idea where this useless knowledge comes from, but yes, I love trivia. So Gil McGirl's trivia, since I've seen it enough times now, I think I would rock at it, but I love trivia, but I haven't gone to like those bars or anything like that.

Friends trivia. I would like totally. You'd be so good.

I love it too. And, um, a couple of years ago, cause probably two or three years ago during the, um, Warner brothers, uh, you know, I can't remember what it was called at the time, but holidays made here or something like that. We, they, they do trivia there. And, um, I hadn't seen, I'm going to lift the veil. I hadn't seen all of Gilmore girls at that point. I hadn't seen almost any of it, but we sat in and I'm like, let's see how well I can do just from working on the podcast. And I, there you go.

I annihilated, I was, I was doing so well. And the host was like, um, are you a big fan? I'm like, I've never seen the show. I just work on a Gilmore girls podcast. And he was like, blown away by that. Um, so you too can try your hand at trivia at, um, fallen foliage.

Uh, they're going to have town halls. They're going to have a picnic lunch.

They're going to have just, oh, and they added a second day of, second day of pearls of wisdom with Kelly Bishop because they were the first one was sold out. Everybody has a photo session, autograph session, every, every single person that's going to be there. So autographs and selfies, dinner and Kelly Bishop toast. So all this stuff is going to be there. Also, Stan Zimmerman, who I thought this was interesting, not just the stars of the show, but Stan Zimmerman, he was a producer and writer of the show.

So it's nice behind the scenes.

Yeah.

I didn't know about him before, but when I saw his name, I looked him up. And so he can give behind the scenes stories of the writer's room because we always like those ones too. Aside from just the actors, how does it come about?

So he can be there to... divulge all that detail so.

If you get a chance to talk to a writer from one of these shows it's just like such an incredible experience because they're the ones who craft like your favorite moments from these from these shows and i love hearing the stories that like inspired these episodes um yes it's it's it's so fun because so much so much of those come from their real lives um he also wrote on uh he also wrote on golden girls and roseanne so this guy's got a lot.

Of stories Oh my gosh. That's so cool.

Yeah. I like hearing where, cause you know, when you watch a show, you want to like relate and, you know, that's why I think also Sex and the City like hit, you know, an audience so well, it's cause like you can relate and friends, you know, it's like, you can relate, you know, moving out of your dad's house that, you know, he paid for and Rachel starting her whole new life or Monica being so, you know, OCD about her cleaning.

Like, these stories is what we want to hear.

It's like, who in your life was like that, you know, and Gilmore girls is legendary for that because it's like every mom daughter relationship, you know, or grandma relationship.

It's just so good. And that's a stance. Everyone will be there to like divulge all those details, which is good.

That's cool. Cause so many of these, um, uh, events, you see the actors, you know, the, the like, and that's great. And that's, that's so cool. But like, it should be the people that worked behind the scenes, uh, on such an important part of it. That's really, really special.

Uh, yeah. Yeah.

So, um, small town venture is, uh, who puts on this event? Uh, this is, uh, once again, flannel foliage and autumn weekend in Danville celebrating your favorite quintessential two thousands TV show, whichever that may be. Uh, but a small town venture there, um, they're, uh, a small town operation. The name is appropriate, uh, but they put on stuff all over the country. It's pretty cool. Um, And, uh, they, they, uh, they've put this together on their Instagram at small town venture.

You can see, uh, some of the stuff they have planned for this event in Danville and, uh, other stuff they got going on all over the place. Um, something else I really love, and this isn't like directly Gilmore related, but it's really exciting. If you're heading up to the Bay area to, to go to this, all the fall menu items, all the fall, like a seasonal things you can get to eat while you're, uh, bopping around Danville and looking here at a, There's like a pumpkin cheesecake thing.

There's some cozy soup. Okay, Jackie and I are in Southern California as we record this, and she's in San Diego. I'm up here in Los Angeles. It's 90 degrees as I look at my thermometer. 90 degrees. It's only going to get hotter as we head into late October.

Oh, my gosh.

I'm craving a cozy weather and a nice butternut squash soup. That I can get in Danville. It will be cooler in Danville. Up there, it's much cooler than down here.

Oh, yeah. And Amy, who is our executive producer, she's going to be going.

So her and Stassi, who's another production assistant for our team, are going to be going. So we'll have Stassi on afterwards so she can describe what it is and what happened and all of that.

But Amy always mentions, because she's a host of Gazette, if you go back on Wednesdays. Oh, yes.

She always mentions there's sandwiches there that are really good and Danville chocolates that are there that are really good. So try those out. I'm not sure exactly which bakery or sandwich shop is there. But yeah, that's what she always recommends. The sandwiches and the chocolates in Danville.

I need, I also need to point out if you are, you know, people listening to this, they're fans of stuff. I just, you know, they're fans of, uh, TV shows of, uh, of pop culture. I just need to point out that, um, if you are a Disney fan and you have seen the show Phineas and Ferb, you are aware that Phineas and Ferb technically takes place in Danville, not Danville. Not the town you live in is called Danville. And I have to assume that because it's close to Pixar and stuff, I have to assume these Disney people are, named it after that. But technically it's, let's see, Danville and Phineas and Ferb is in the tri-state area. It is near the ocean, but also driving distance to Mount Rushmore. It's a fictional townhouse town but it is danville that's what

they call it there you go and i believe it's because the founder the creator of phineas and ferb's name is dan so.

That's what but um what a coincidence.

Anyway well if you go to danville california to experience fallen foliage you can also say that you went to the town phineas and ferb live in yeah uh yeah this is this is going to be a great event i'm so jealous of amy that she gets to go and saucy they're gonna have so much fun Uh, and, uh, once again, this is the 23rd and 25th of October. So, uh, next weekend, as you listen to this episode, this is a fallen foliage. It's in downtown Danville.

It's free. What was it?

Flannel and foliage.

I'm sorry.

I called a fan and foliage. Their fans will be there wearing flannel experiencing foliage. It's an autumn weekend in Danville. Uh, I'm just too excited to speak. You guys, you can hear the passion coming from my voice. Three days of autumn festivities. What a good time. Uh, it's free, but if you know, if you want to spend a little bit extra, you can meet some of the stars like Scott Patterson, Kelly Bishop, Sean Gunn, Emily Corota, that are our favorite people that have been on this podcast and graced our screens on Gilmore girls. Uh, Jackie, this has been so fun.
