Meet Me at Miss Patty's: Flannel & Foliage Recap!

I am all in. Again!

More, more, more.

I want to kiss you more.

More, more, more. I want to kiss you more.

Meet me at Miss Patty's with Easton Allen.

It is me, me, I'm Miss Patties. My name is Easton Allen. Thanks for joining us today. We are talking about all the fun fall events going on this season in the world of Gilmore Girls. And we've got some boots on the ground reporting from our own producer Stassi.

How's it going? Thanks for joining us.

Thank you for having me. I'm so excited to be here.

Oh my goodness.

I'm so excited to have you. You experienced something I'm so jealous of. I wish I could have been there. Fall and foliage, an autumn event, an autumn weekend in Danville, California in the Bay Area.

Okay.

I need to know, it was three days. Did you go to all three days? Did you go to just one? What'd you do?

Sadly, no. I was only at the first day. I was there on Friday. It was beautiful out. First time ever in Danville. Wow. It was the best.

Are you a Gilmore Girls fan, Stassi? Yes, absolutely.

Every fall, re-watching it over and over again.

There was so much going on these three days in Danville. How did you start? When you first got there, what was the first thing you did?

Well, the funny thing was, is that they incorporated the event so much into the city that you kind of arrived. And it was almost like, am I already in Stars Hollow? Like, where do I go? It seems like everyone's just doing their normal day to day errands and hanging out. And they had like the cutest little town area with like an old like an old theater and kind of like a town meeting hall. And it was just It was very cute. Um, I kind of started by just like trying to get the lay of the land. Cause again, it was so incorporated with Danville already. I mean, you would go into like all these cute boutiques and they would have their flannel and foliage, um, like kind of like merch made for everyone. Um, They had like really cute,

like coffee, like holiday drinks for this event. And it was kind of just like wandering around and just seeing the lay of the land. But then also on top of that, they had like a very strict schedule of what each of the cast members were going to be doing. And obviously like we were so trying to find Scott and just wherever he was going, we were going. So kind of while I was wandering around, like it was so cute, like just seeing like all these families coming together and either dressed up in very like fall attire, like on purpose, like really doing their fall big ones or either dressing up as one of the cast characters.

Like we would see so many like mini Luke's and like their flannels and their backwards hats or like so many like Suki's like in their like kitchen attire. And it was just very cute walking around. Um, but once we were able to lock down Scott and know where he was going to be, we were, we were stuck with him the whole time. Yeah.

Stuck with Scott Patterson.

Wow.

What a fate has befallen you.

How was the weather? Was it, did it feel like fall up there? Cause it's been kind of warm.

It was really cloudy actually. I was worried it was going to rain for a second. And then I got there really early in the morning though. And then as it warmed up, it was very fall. Danville's beautiful when it comes to just like, we actually get seasons up in the Bay area, which is not anywhere like in Southern California. So that part was really awesome, but it was beautiful out.

Oh, that's great to hear.

Cause everyone dressing in their flannel, it would be so sad if it was like 90 degrees. Uh, so, um, you, you mentioned, uh, there was some special like menus and stuff. Did you get a chance to try any of the food or any of the, uh, coffee?

I didn't get the chance to try the food or the coffee, but I walked into this one boutique. that had already would make like merch for specific like events like they would either make like college merch or like sorority merch and like they made an entire array of just Gilmore Girls things like anything that you can imagine of like coasters, bath towels, even for girls they were making like claw clips and hoodies and t shirts and it was just.

Like, Oh, my gosh.

You could literally redecorate your house into everything. Gilmore Girls, everything, any cups, plates, napkins, everything. And it was so cute. It was either like the flannel and foliage like event or it was just like Gilmore Girls things of like Stars Hollow and Luke's Diner and like even like some like Yale things. It was really they they tied in probably everything.

Wow. That's amazing. That's amazing.

So many opportunities to turn your home into Stars Hollow from going to something like this. So you were hanging out with Scott for some of the day. What was that like? What was it like being in the orbit of Scott Patterson, of Luke Daines himself at an event like this?

It was actually surreal for me. I had never met him in person yet. Wow. And I mean, not even to be biased, but he has got to be one of my favorite characters from Gilmore Girls. He is just so funny and sarcastic. And I just love some of his sass that comes from Gilmore Girls. It really just carries it in so many ways. But kind of seeing him, one, he looks the exact same. Yep. He has not aged a day since the show. I have to first say that immediately. But also just so funny and just so down to earth. The event that we first ran into him at that I kind of like was trying to track down and like figure out was. It was labeled as like Scott Patterson coffee session.

Yes.

And I'm thinking it's like, we're going to go to a coffee shop and maybe he's going to like be sitting in like in front of like a bar or like at like a diner kind of thing and just like have a microphone and like talk to the restaurant. And I go and I'm like walking to this restaurant because again, it's so just in the town of Danville.

And it's a completely just this diner that is super cute and like very old timey and fun and like has like really great energy and it's filled, but it looks like it's just filled with people like just normal customers. Who's just like going and like grabbing a bite to eat with like their family on a Friday morning. And I'm so confused. I was like, where is Scott supposed to come out? Are these people here for the event?

Do these people even know that Scott Patterson is going to walk through like the doors right now? So I, find one of the waitresses and I was like I just need you to help me understand this I am so confused right now I'm so confused right now I'm really trying to find Scott I've heard that he's supposed to come here for some coffee chat and she was like oh honey no he's gonna like come in and sit down at the tables individually with everyone here.

And I was like, wait, what?

And she goes, so if you want to see him, like I recommend like sitting at like the bar over here. And she kind of pointed for like where like I should sit and like save seats for Amy and Carrie. And so we're all sitting there. And then finally, like we see like Scott, like walk through the door and obviously like him and Amy like hug. And it's like so happy for everyone to see one another. And everyone's looking at us like, who, who are these people that are so tight with Scott? Yeah. And he's like, okay, I have to go like his, like he's being ushered around.

And it was the most interactive celebrity experience that I've probably have ever seen where you're literally just sitting down at this diner that anyone could have walked into. And he genuinely went and chatted it up with every single table in there of people for maybe like 10, 15 minutes each. So we were there for like a good, good hour ish. And it was great. He was taking photos with the waitress staff and hanging out with everyone that was like dressed up as Luke and taking photos with them as well. And it was just really sweet.

I feel like normally when you want to have like a meeting group with like a celebrity, it's so quick of just like a quick photo. You say hi, shake hands, then leave. This was like, oh, my gosh, you literally got to just hang out with him for 15, 20 minutes if you wanted to.

I'm so glad you have this insight because I've seen this advertised on a few different events where you get to like have coffee with Luke.

And I was like, I thought the same thing. I'm like, Oh, it's you go to a coffee shop. He's going to come out and like, say hi and be like, man, Gilmore girls was great. And then like leave.

But, um, that's amazing that he sits down and spends time with each person. That's just incredible. Uh, Stassi, I have so many more questions for you, but.

You know what? We got to play some commercials. It's my favorite part of the show.

Hang on one second. This is Mimi and Miss Patty's. My name is Easton Allen here on the I am all in podcast. We have our boots on the ground reporter producer Stassi. She was at flannel and foliage, an autumn weekend in Danville and giving us all the tea, everything that happened there. Uh, if you were to give some tips or some advice to someone who's going to go to an event like this, something that's taking over a small town, what advice would you give someone?

I would say be patient. It's a long day and there's a lot of stops that you'll probably want to make. Honestly, the way that I compare it to is like Disneyland. Like you're going to go and there might be some lines. There's going to be some of your friends are probably going to want to go over here. You might want to go over here and you all just have to end of the day have to say we want to see X, Y and Z. and stick to that and enjoy every second of it. And it doesn't need to be rushed. I mean, this event went on until like five, six o'clock at night. So it was like a long day of like, maybe like, I want to go here first and then I want to stop and get coffee here.

And we can, they had like a whole picnic set up too, which was really cute. Um, I would say pace yourself, figure out the different things that like you want to go to versus the things that you're willing to sacrifice. Um, and yeah, I was honestly surprised of how long some of the lines were for some of the meet and greets as well as how packed the parking was. So be patient with that as well.

Uh, did you, so you enjoyed the town of Danville.

Would you go back? Would you hang out in Danville again?

Absolutely. I was honestly mad that I didn't just have my friends tag along with me. Because I was there early in the morning trying to get the lay of the land before we kind of started everything up. And I was like, I should have just made one of my friends come with me. And we could have just ventured around the town for a little bit before we got started.

Now, I know you spent a lot of your day with Scott. Sorry, I call him Luke all the time. Did you see any of the other cast while you were there? Did you see anyone else?

We didn't really get to see... Too many other people. I know we really wanted to go see Kelly Bishop and see her speak because she's just been absolutely crushing it nowadays. So once we got into Scott's car and we ended up driving over to this photo op area and it was kind of one of like the more like stereotypical meet and greets that you would do. And we kind of like go like behind like the curtains because they're like hiding out and there's like all these people like packed out in front of waiting in line.

And then sure enough, I just see Sean Gunn just casually, casually standing there, too. And I was like, wow, my God, like it was honestly more so surreal that like because Danville is just such a small town that it's crazy to have such. a like world renowned cast in a such a small town like this. And especially like a lot of people's hometowns. Cause I don't really know like if people were necessarily traveling for this kind of event, but it was so crazy to see like, wow, this entire cast of such a large show is just here in this small town of ours. So that was unbelievable.

And obviously he was amazing. We were like, we didn't even realize that we were going to take a photo until Scott was like, no guys, before you leave, like we have to take a photo. And we're like, oh my God. Yeah. And I was talking to Amy and Danielle and like looking back at like the photo, they're like, Anastasia, you just look so happy to be here. You just look like you are so just in awe. And I was like, I was.

That's incredible.

We'll have that photo posted on our Instagram so you can see the pure joy emanating from Anastasia's eyes there. Uh, how fun, what a cool event to go to. Um, and everyone, this is a fall in foliage, uh, flannel and foliage. I keep calling it the wrong name.

I'm sorry.

Flannel and foliage and autumn weekend in Danville. And we have producer Stassi, uh, reporting live from the event. Thank you so much for sharing your experience, your memories. Uh, and, uh, so you would go to a Gilmore girls event again.

Would you go to this? Absolutely.

100%. I think I would. maybe plan out a couple more things of being there a little bit earlier and staying later so that you can stop at a few more photo ops. I mean, the one thing that I definitely recommend that I heard from other people, they're saying that was great was they had just an entire panel of the cast in the morning and all of them, just like imagining all of them reunited together, just speaking to everyone has got to just be amazing, especially happening in your hometown hometown. So hopefully next year, that will be something that I will really look forward to seeing.

That's great.

Yeah, like you were saying, these kind of things, they happen in L.A., they happen in New York, you know, cities like that. Having it happen in this small town in the Bay Area, it's so special and so Gilmore, like so uniquely Gilmore Girls.

It's so cool. Thank you so much for joining us, Saucy.

Thanks for taking the time, and we can't wait to see what you get up to next.

We'll have you on.

Thank you for having me.

For sure. This has been Meet Me at Miss Patty's. I'll see you guys next time. Bye.

Bye.
