  Speaker 7: to the fans, Scott. The big thing that everybody needs
• 4:02
  Speaker 7: to know is that it's its own ticket this year. So,
• 4:06
  Speaker 7: of course, we have our amazing tour, but so many
• 4:09
  Speaker 7: of our fans wanted to just come to Gilmore Girls
• 4:11
  Speaker 7: and they wanted to be in Stars Hollow all day.
• 4:13
  Speaker 7: So we're giving them that option so they can buy

  Speaker 7: a Gilmore Girls only ticket, which people asked for and
• 4:19
  Speaker 7: now we're giving it.

  Speaker 1: If they want to do the tour, they still can.
• 4:23
  Speaker 7: There's the tour plus a little extra to come to

  Speaker 7: the event, but we want to give the people what
• 4:29
  Speaker 7: they want. So we're giving them all day, all day
• 4:31
  Speaker 7: access to Stars Hollow and to see you, Scott, in
• 4:35
  Speaker 7: this amazing town we call Stars Hollow.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: There's another element, James, that I believe that we're adding
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: here is that Is it true what I hear about
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: a podcast happening every single day?
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: Yes, sir.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: That is the truth. Okay, good.
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: We are going to do a podcast every single day.
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: You are hosting every single day. Suzanne gets to host
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: with you. And then, of course, Sugarman and the gang.
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: I'll be there once in a while, too, which will
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: be exciting.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: And that's going to be in the Stephen J. Ross Theater.
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: Exactly.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: One of the swankiest theaters.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: It's swank, yes.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: That is a swanky, modern, great theater. I mean, it's
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: one of the great theaters in the country. It holds
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: 450 people. That is also a separate ticket as well.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: That's going to be its own ticket. Yes.
• 5:31
  Speaker 7: I mean, this is where we do premieres.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's a nice setup.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Okay. 450 seats. The Warner Brothers movie premieres.
• 5:37
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I was just going to say that.
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: For the fans that followed Holidays Made Here in previous
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: years on Instagram, that's the theater that has the big
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: circular marquee with the water tower in the background. It's
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: an iconic venue, so it's going to be awesome.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: And we secured it for the podcast.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: And interestingly, that theater was used as a set in
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Gilmore Girls. I believe it was.
• 6:04
  Speaker 7: the episode when the, when the girls go see the bangles.
• 6:06
  Speaker 7: I think that's the thing.
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: Right, right, right.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: So there's a connection.
• 6:12
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: I'd like to see the bangles tomorrow. We should get them.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: On the podcast.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: I know. Actually.
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: Oh, I love her.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: Right. Fans are also going to be able to get
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: a photo op with me. Right.
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: Oh, that's a new add on too.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: That's a new add on as well. So that's another ticket.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: So yeah. And a professional photo. Professional photo. Not just
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: a selfie, but it'll be a set and it's all
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: set up with a great background and I'll be available
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: for a longer period of time because I know that
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: a lot of fans are frustrated because they would be
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: waiting in line for so long at Luke's Diner.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Sometimes in the rain.
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: And I was only able to be in Luke's for
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: about 20 minutes before I got moved to another location, which...
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: But now it's different. I'm going to be anchored in
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: a place and there'll be photo ops and that'll be
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: a lot of fun.
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: It's actually called a meet and greet in photo op.
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: So you will meet and greet those fans.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: Yes, I will.
• 7:16
  Speaker 7: But you'll be still making some surprise pop-ups every now
• 7:19
  Speaker 7: and then.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: Absolutely.
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: Oh, in all kinds of places. Like some of the
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: new add-ons that we have.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: And what would those be, I wonder?
• 7:27
  Speaker 7: We have some amazing add-ons. Do you want to talk
• 7:30
  Speaker 7: about it, James?
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: I'm so excited.
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: No, you go first, and then I'll do the next one.
• 7:33
  Speaker 7: Well, the big thing that relates to our man here
• 7:36
  Speaker 7: is Luke's apartment. So we have recreated, or recreating, I
• 7:42
  Speaker 7: should say, it's in process right now, with the original
• 7:45
  Speaker 7: specs and diagrams from the show. Your set over in
• 7:50
  Speaker 7: the firehouse, or the school, as we know, the Stars
• 7:53
  Speaker 7: Hall School, that's where you filmed it. And we're recreating
• 7:55
  Speaker 7: the set so people can walk through and see where
• 7:58
  Speaker 7: you hung out above your diner.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: And that's going to be amazing.
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: And that's just the price. And that's what the price
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: of general admission. That's not like a super app. That's
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: just a new experience.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 8:12
  Speaker 7: And we'll have a Luke's themed store, which we didn't
• 8:16
  Speaker 7: have before. So this will be everything Luke, all Luke,
• 8:18
  Speaker 7: nothing but Luke, including a Luke's coffee tasting bar.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: We're going very, Very she-she here. So just like you
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: might go to a wine bar, we're going to have
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: a coffee bar.
• 8:30
  Speaker 7: So that's some amazing setups for the character we love
• 8:34
  Speaker 7: called Luke.
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: Will there be an espresso martini?
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: Because that's what I really like.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Oh, we have a tiramisu martini this year.

  Speaker 3: Oh, that's at.
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: The secret bar.

  Speaker 3: be there? I'll be there at a fixed time.
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: Oh, you will at the secret bar every day?
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: Well, they'll probably know it's probably after five, right?
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: 12 to five, 12 to five every day. And I'll
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: probably stay a little longer.
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: Oh, in the secret bar.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: You know, I love ending the day at the secret bar,
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: having a Founders Day punch with fans. I like to
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: sit there and get to know them a little bit.

  Speaker 3: is so well thought out per location. It's location-specific merch.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: You won't get this type of merch over here that
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: they offer over at Luke's or over here. It's all
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: so varied and so special and so well thought out.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Well, thank you, Scott.
• 14:47
  Speaker 7: And as I mentioned, we will have additional merch that
• 14:49
  Speaker 7: you can't get anywhere else, only at this event. You
• 14:52
  Speaker 7: can't get it online, only in this event. And I'm
• 14:55
  Speaker 7: really excited for our Luke's store this year.
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: In fact.
• 14:58
  Speaker 7: I think we have a Luke's nutcracker coming.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: So, you know, I mean, that's fun.
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: That's really fun.
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: Oh, my gosh. But you have a new flavored coffee, too,
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: called I think I am all in autumn.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: Well, it's how you say it, James. It's I am
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: an autumn.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: There you go.
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: Oh, I am an autumn.
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: I am an autumn. Blend.
• 15:28
  Speaker 7: So it's the I am an autumn blend, and we
• 15:31
  Speaker 7: are serving that. And as I mentioned in our Luke's
• 15:34
  Speaker 7: coffee tasting section of your store, you can get a
• 15:37
  Speaker 7: little sample of that to see which of our amazing
• 15:40
  Speaker 7: coffees that you want to purchase while at the event.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: Unbelievable. Wow.
• 15:44
  Speaker 7: I bet.
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: I am an autumn.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: David, a couple of things here. Tell us about, I
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: understand last year there was a lot of parking issues.
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: Have we solved this? Have you solved this? Yeah.
• 16:00
  Speaker 7: The issues are so many people came and that was exciting,
• 16:03
  Speaker 7: but we want to make sure we have easy places
• 16:05
  Speaker 7: for people to park this year. So when you buy
• 16:07
  Speaker 7: your ticket, depending on which ticket you buy, I'm you'll
• 16:10
  Speaker 7: have explicit instructions on where to park. So if you're
• 16:14
  Speaker 7: buying just for Gilmore Girls, we're going to have a
• 16:16
  Speaker 7: special parking lot. It's not right where the tour is.
• 16:20
  Speaker 7: It's a It's a couple blocks over, but you'll park there.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: It'll be easy.
• 16:25
  Speaker 7: And it'll be like going to a theme park. You'll
• 16:26
  Speaker 7: park there, and then we'll have these really nice shuttles
• 16:29
  Speaker 7: that'll take people over and drop you off right in
• 16:31
  Speaker 7: front of Stars Hollow.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: So that'll be easy.
• 16:34
  Speaker 7: We will have our preferred parking, maybe something Richard and
• 16:38
  Speaker 7: Emily Gilmore might buy if they were coming to the event.
• 16:40
  Speaker 7: And that will be special right next to the event.
• 16:44
  Speaker 7: And if you're going on the tour, the regular tour,
• 16:46
  Speaker 7: and going to Stars Hollow afterwards, you'll park in the
• 16:48
  Speaker 7: Studio Tour building just like usual. So it'll all tell you.
• 16:52
  Speaker 7: It'll be very easy to follow when you buy your ticket.
• 16:54
  Speaker 7: It'll tell you where you're parking, and you'll get all
• 16:57
  Speaker 7: the instructions and information.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: So it'll be easy.
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and if you're taking an Uber or a taxi
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: or something, you just drop off at the Studio Tour building. Exactly, exactly.
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: And I just wanted to make sure you all knew
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: that guests have to be five years old or older
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: to get in.
• 17:17
  Speaker 7: Okay so all the all the future gilmore girls they
• 17:20
  Speaker 7: have to be at least six they have.
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: To be at least five it can't be four.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: Exactly right right right okay.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: How about a uh The costume contests are a lot
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: of fun, right? Oh, yeah.
• 17:43
  Speaker 7: Every day at 3.30, and a couple times you have
• 17:46
  Speaker 7: hosted this amazing event, and people can wear their best costumes,
• 17:52
  Speaker 7: and they can really get into the cosplay of the moment.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: And another show that we're adding, if you all remember.
• 18:00
  Speaker 7: The episode where Rory auctions off her basket... So that
• 18:07
  Speaker 7: will be a new show that we do a couple
• 18:09
  Speaker 7: of times throughout the day where we'll have a basket
• 18:11
  Speaker 7: and maybe there'll be some Luke's coffee in that basket. But, um,
• 18:15
  Speaker 7: that might be another presentation that you want to, uh,
• 18:18
  Speaker 7: pop into every now and then.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: So, uh, and I will be judging the costume contest
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: every day.
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: By the way, I just, Oh, hooray. Yeah.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: Even, even I didn't know that.
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: I am excited. We're writing that down.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Danny, Danny said, uh, Danny said he wants, and
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: Danny can't be here. Danny Khan. He was going to
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: be on this, but, uh, He's busy, busy, busy. But
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: he asked me to judge the contest every day. And
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: I said, certainly. I mean, it's 3.30. I'll be there.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: I'll be doing the podcast. I think we start out
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: the day 12 or 12.30 with the podcast every day.
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: And then I'll go around.
• 18:53
  Speaker 7: Now that people know that, they're going to up their.
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: Game, I think.
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: Please, please up your game. I love it.
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: So there's a wonderful gift basket that people win. If
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: they win, place or show. Yeah. In the costume contest,
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: what's in the gift basket this year, if you can
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: describe it?
• 19:12
  Speaker 7: Well, usually it kind of varies. And we sometimes vary
• 19:16
  Speaker 7: it depending on who wins. I mean, if it's a
• 19:20
  Speaker 7: five-year-old Luke, we might give them something a little different
• 19:23
  Speaker 7: than we might give a 30-year-old Misal.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: Right, right, right.
• 19:31
  Speaker 7: But it'll be some great items from our exclusive merchandise
• 19:35
  Speaker 7: and product. Usually, there might be a Luke's coffee in there.
• 19:38
  Speaker 7: There might be a mug. There might be a couple
• 19:41
  Speaker 7: other special pieces that surprise you.
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: They're fun. Those are a lot of fun. That's big

  Speaker 5: LA area and you want to audition, look on wbjobs.com.
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: Right. I want to describe a little bit about what
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: people are going to be seeing in the podcast in
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: the Stephen J. Ross theater. audience members are going to
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: obviously witness the live recording part of the podcast. And
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: they're going to hear behind the scenes stories from the series, uh,
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: special guests appearances, and they're going to be able to
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: participate in this. This is what I really love about
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: this is that is they're going to participate in a
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: live Q and a with the audience. So the audience
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: will get up to step up to some microphones and
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: ask the questions that they want to ask. Uh, and
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: that's when it really gets super, super fun. Not that
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: the rest of it isn't great, but, Love the Q &
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: A because you never know what kind of a question
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: you're going to get. Guys, this all sounds too good
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: to be true, but somehow you three, Danny Kahn's not here,
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: managed to surprise me every year. And the fans, oh,
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: by the way, by the way, it's always very crowded there, right?
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: It's a lot of fun. It's a huge celebration. People
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: fly in from all over the world. There's a million
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: different languages being spoken at any given time at that place.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: Are you going to cap the ticket sales per day
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: a little bit so the lines are a little less long?
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 22:37
  Speaker 7: I don't know the exact number, Scott, but we did
• 22:40
  Speaker 7: want to make sure we don't go... Everybody wants to
• 22:43
  Speaker 7: come in, so how do you say no? We're going
• 22:46
  Speaker 7: to limit the daily tickets. As we mentioned, you mentioned
• 22:49
  Speaker 7: it yourself, now we have three places to get cold brew.
• 22:52
  Speaker 7: If you were in line last year for cold brew,
• 22:53
  Speaker 7: that'll help. adding more experiences, more shows. So I think
• 22:59
  Speaker 7: if you've seen Luke's Diner, you may want to spend
• 23:01
  Speaker 7: your time going through Luke's apartment this year. So there's
• 23:04
  Speaker 7: going to be a lot of great new opportunities to
• 23:07
  Speaker 7: spend your day. And hopefully that'll really make things a
• 23:10
  Speaker 7: little easier for everybody.

• 23:16

  Speaker 5: We just love hearing from you.
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: The enduring memories that I have from having, this will be,
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: I don't know, our sixth year doing this and third
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: really in the big way that we're doing it and
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: it keeps getting bigger and bigger. The enduring memories that
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: I have of fans who come for the first time
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: and how overwhelmed they become emotionally. I remember doing some
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: photos with people by the gazebo last year And it
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: was during the day. And there was the these two
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: women from Italy were there and they took a photo
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: and they were kind of shaking and they were they
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: I thought something I said, are you OK? No, no.
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: We're we're just and they sat down. on the benches
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: and they just started weeping. They were looking around and
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: they just couldn't believe that they were there in Stars
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: Hollow as it was happening. And it's just, I see
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: this time and again from fans. So have this experience.
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: If you want a bucket list experience for Gilmore Girls,
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: this is the one. Bring your families. It's a wonderful day.
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: You will make a ton of friends. It is the
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: most celebratory, happiest place I have ever been in my life.
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: and there's 6,000 of you there every day. So it's
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: quite a spectacular group of people to be with.
• 28:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 28:50
  Speaker 7: I think when people come here the first time, they
• 28:53
  Speaker 7: can't get over the fact that this is where it
• 28:54
  Speaker 7: was actually filmed, and the sets still look the same.
• 28:58
  Speaker 7: And if they weren't, we repaint them to look like
• 29:00
  Speaker 7: they were.
• 29:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's so special that it's like this is the
• 29:06
  Speaker 6: actual place. That's what makes it so special for me.
• 29:10
