  Speaker 1: on this fall in the world, world of Gilmore girls, uh,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: getting to visit stars hollow in three dimensional spaces. It's
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: so fun. And this week we're talking to some really
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: exciting people. I've been pouring over this website. I've been
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: looking at this Instagram. I am just so jealous of
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: everyone that gets to go to a weekend in stars hollow.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: It's taken over Delaware, Ohio, and there's so much, I'm
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: not exaggerating here. There's so much cool stuff going on.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: I am here with Olivia and Rob, the masterminds behind
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: this event. How are you guys doing? Thanks for joining me.
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: We are.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're good.
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Thanks for having us.
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:03
  Speaker 5: Super excited.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: What are your roles with A Weekend in Stars Hollow?
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: How are you guys involved?
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: So we have a group called Late Night Delaware, which
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: is a group of business owners from downtown. So I
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: own a small retail business. Olivia owns a social media business.
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: So it's a group of people that are getting together,
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: trying to find fun things for our town to do.
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: It's a nonprofit. And then we've got some huge Gilmore
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: Girls fans on the committee. And so this sort of
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: evolved last year with them wanting to do something Gilmore
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: Girls related.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: So this is our second go around this year.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Amazing.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Amazing.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: And what a stacked lineup you have. I mean, we
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: will get into all of that, but so the thing
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: I love about these events and it feels like. this
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: is the case for Delaware, Ohio is that Gilmore girls
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: is a kind of celebrates the beauty of, of small towns.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: So these like these towns in America and I, I
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: was doing, I've never been to Ohio. I've never visited
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: the Buckeye state. I know it's, it's dreadful, but I
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: was doing some research on Delaware. My goodness, so much history,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: so much community. What are each of your favorite things
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: about living and working in Delaware, Ohio?
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: I'll let Olivia handle first and then I'll weigh in.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, it's definitely has that very small town,
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: close knit feel to it. But also, you know, still
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: a bigger city. We're not far away from Columbus. But
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: I think just the people like it has just been
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: I love hanging out with everyone that owns businesses and
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: all of that. And so Delaware is really like stars
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: hollow in that regard, for sure.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I would echo that. And I think too,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: we're a decent sized city.
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: I mean, I think we're 40, 50,000 people at this point,
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: but our downtown is very old, but in a good way.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: It's well kept, it's quaint.
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: And again, having us be a little suburb outside of
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: a large area like Columbus that has 2 million people,
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: it's kind of a little hidden gem, but it's got
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: a very small town feel here in our downtown.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah. That's the vibes I get from, uh, from, from
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: looking it up just, you know, initially here. Uh, okay.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: So this is going on. I should say when this
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: is happening, it's November 13th and 14th. We're about, uh,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: you know, a week and a half away from the,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: from the event. Uh, and you can get all the information, um,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: go to at late night Delaware, uh, to get on Instagram,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: to get information on a weekend and stars hollow. something
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: I think is so cool. Cause we see a lot
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: of these events people do like, you know, they'll do pop-ups,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: they'll do special menus, stuff like that. The knit-a-thon, you
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: guys are doing a knit-a-thon that caught my eye. What
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: can you tell me about the knit-a-thon that's going on Friday,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: November 13th?
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: So, I mean, you know, the knit-a-thon, if you're a
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: fan is iconic. So, um, uh, one of our artists
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: in town, who's been very integral to this event is
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: she hosted the knit-a-thon last year and there were actually
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: people that came with like signs to cheer on the
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: knitters so this year it's going to be even bigger
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: and word on the street is that John and Todd
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: are possibly going to stop by and visit with the
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: knitters so um so yeah it's going to be a
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: really fun huge thing people have been saying like actual,
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: you know, like knitters, like how do we.
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: Get in on this event and all of that? It's
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: going to be really fun.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: That is awesome. As I am a knitter myself, so
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: I am so excited. I can only make scarves. You know,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: I got, Hey, it's, we still have time. We have
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: a week and a half. Maybe I'll find myself out
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: there and I'll grab, I'll bring my bamboo needles and
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: we'll get to Get to stitching. And, you know, you
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: dropped some names there. We got some big celebrity guests
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: coming to town. Todd Lowe, John Cabrera from Hepcat. They're
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: going to, or sorry, Hep Alien. I don't know why
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: I said that.
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: I was like, maybe you know them as something else. I, okay.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: I like, I'm a Gilmore girls fan for some reason.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Every time I see hep alien, I always want to
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: say hep cat. I don't know why that like just
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: in my head, uh, hep alien though, they're going to
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: be there. They're, they're hosting trivia. They're doing a Q
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: and a, uh, what can you tell people about, uh,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: these big celebrity guests you got coming to town?
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: So the thing about them is they really wanted to
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: create an immersive experience. So it's not like going to
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: Comic-Con and, like, standing in line where you get to
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: see them for, like, two seconds.
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: Like, this trivia, they're.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: Right there with them, hanging out with them. We've gotten
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: so many comments on our social media from people that
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: have done it elsewhere saying it's the best thing they've
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: ever done.
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: And so... I'm just.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: So excited that they just really want to be ingrained
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: with the fans. So I think it's going to be
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: a great experience. And we just added Emily Kuroda.
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Mrs. Kim will be there. That's going to be so
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: such a thrill. She's been on this podcast a number
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: of times. We love her so much. I'm curious.
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Who comes up with the trivia questions? I'm curious about that.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: And what's the difficulty? Okay.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: So it's actually John and you do it on an
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: app that he created. And apparently he's been told that
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: his questions are too hard. So I think he's trying
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: to find a balance of those kinds of questions.
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: So yeah.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Like stuff that only he would know on the set.
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: Yes, exactly.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: And the fun thing is if you buy a ticket
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: to the trivia, he plays with you even after on
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: the app. Like he still plays trivia with people like,
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: two to three weeks later. So you're getting like a
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: really cool thing with your ticket.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: That's incredible. And that's just one of the many things
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: you have going on. Gnome painting, Kirk's egg hunt. Is
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: there a specific like activity this, you know, over the
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: weekend that you're particularly looking forward to?
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: I mean, I, as again, we're like the co-chairs of
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: the committee, but I actually just purchased a ticket to
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: do the candle bar with Mrs.
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: Kim because it is just going to be amazing. You
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: get this.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: Really beautiful mug and she's going to sign it.
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: And then who doesn't want to hang out with Mrs.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Kim?
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: But what are you excited about?
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so I'm looking forward to yesterday we had a
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: gazebo delivered.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: I saw that.
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, to a large patio of a restaurant downtown that's
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: kind of right in the heart of downtown. And then
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: we've also got a sign like a Stars Hollow sign
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: that we had built that we're going to put down there.
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: So for me, it's just checking out that photo opportunity.
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: We're hoping to get a lot of people down there.
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: We're going to have hay bales and corn stalks and
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: pumpkins and all kinds of things to make it look
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: super fall-like and hopefully Mother Nature will cooperate. We'll have
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: some nice weather that weekend, but it's a great, it's
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: a beautiful patio right on the corner that we can
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: have all that stuff go on.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: So I'm looking forward to that.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: That's incredible. You can't have Gilmore Girls without a gazebo.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: It's such a crucial element and you guys are making
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: it happen. This is so much fun, you guys. Do
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: you guys do other events throughout the year or is
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: this the one that you guys really focus in on?
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: So Late Night Delaware, we do a monthly event every
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: third Friday. Usually it has some kind of theme. September's
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: was Saturday Night Live. We've done some music themes and
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: different fun stuff. But the Gilmore Girls one that we're
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: doing in November for the second year here, that is
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: the big one, right? That is the one where people
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: are coming from multiple states away and we've got all
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: the fun events and things. But we do put out
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: an event every third Friday in our downtown.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: I cannot fathom putting together something of this magnitude. It
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: just makes me like eyes go cross. So hats off
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: to you, first of all. But what was a big
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: lesson that you learned from last year, like doing it
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: the first time? Was there something you're like, oh, we're
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: going to do this different next year?
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think last year we did it at night
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: on a Friday night and it was great. But, you know,
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: once daylight savings time changes, it's dark. It was dark
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: almost the entire time.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: I think we thought we needed some more daylight hours
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: this time around. And so that's why we turned it
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: into a two day. So you can still come Friday night,
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: which will be great. But then all day Saturday, we've
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: got daylight. You can see the beauty of our town.
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: And I think also having so many people, we had
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: 7,000 people come in the five hour span last year
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: in the rain on a cold night. And so this
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: year we thought, let's have it over two days. Let's
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: spread it out a little bit more and let's do
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: some more fun events. And then, you know, then it's
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: kind of evolved into Hep Alien and Mrs.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: Kim and, you know, some of the other things.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Incredible. I'm looking at the schedule now. Saturday, it starts
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: at 10 a.m., wraps up at midnight with Miss Patty's
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: 21 and over after party. Wow, you can really go
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: hard the entire day at a weekend in Stars Hollow.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: This is such a blast. And again, John and Todd
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: from Hep Alien are going to be there doing trivia.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: There's a Luke lookalike contest. Oh, my goodness. Who's judging that?
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: So actually, again, it's going to be John.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: I don't know if Todd will be there, but it will.
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: It's going to be John. So, I mean, he has
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: who who better than him who worked with him. Yeah.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Exactly. So everyone get your, break out your backwards hats
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: and your flannels, uh, to, uh, to try and win that. Uh, again,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: this is a weekend in stars hollow. It's the 13th
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: and 14th of November in beautiful and scenic Delaware, Ohio. Um,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: what can you tell people that are coming, if they're
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: coming in from out of town or possibly even out
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: of state, uh, what should people be prepared for when
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: they step foot in Delaware, Ohio for the first time?
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think parking, right? We'll get a lot of
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: people here. We will have some designated parking areas and
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: things like that. So hopefully folks will be able to
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: find a good place to park their vehicles.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: We do have some hotels here in town.
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: There's also a lot of hotels just outside of Delaware
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: and some of the towns surrounding us. So hopefully if
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: people haven't got a room that they can still grab one.
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: Without this being a ticketed event, we don't quite know
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: how many people are coming this year, but we get
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: a feeling quite a few.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: So I think Once you park your.
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: Car and you kind of make your way towards Sandusky Street,
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: which is our main drag, you'll walk into, again, a
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: really quaint downtown and hopefully get that vibe and that
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: feeling that we all have that people said that Delaware
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: is a perfect town for Stars Hollow.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Amazing. I love it. Olivia and Rob, thank you so
