Hey punks! Happy Valentine's Day (obligatory "your heart's a big tent" joke goes here) Willi recently announced more shows on the Critterland tour and will be playing 123 Pleasant St in my hometown of Morgantown on 5/5. I thought it would be fun to suggest a pre-show meetup where Willi fans can get acquainted, and maybe grab something to eat and/or drink. Anyone else going to be at the show and wanna meet?
Pic related: my very first Willi show, also at 123.
A couple pics from last night. This was so much fun, thanks to everyone who showed up! Totally exceeded my expectations.
Hi, just wanted to confirm that people are meeting at Gibbie’s tomorrow at 5:30; if not, I won’t drive down as early.
Alright, folks, we have just over a week to go. I'm going to suggest meeting at Gibbie's Pub on High Street at about 5:30. That will give us plenty of time to get acquainted, and it's just a couple of blocks from the venue. It seems we have about five people who definitely plan to be there, and a few maybes. I'm going to get us a small bar tab if anyone wants some fried apps or a drink or two. Please let me know if anyone has other ideas/if this doesn't work for someone. I used to work at Gibbie's and it's a super chill, LGBT+ friendly place with two bars, lots of space, and outside seating if the weather is nice. I just know not everyone might be comfortable meeting at a bar.
Hey y'all!! I am down!! I don't know the area well enough to pick the place per se, although I did notice a riverfront park the last time that I drove through briefly. Also, I would like to advertise this in a bunch of FB music groups I am in. Actually on the verge of creating a Willi fans FB group.
Hey everyone. This show is officially one month away, just wanted to touch base with everyone. I'm definitely going to be there, it looks like we have two other people who plan on being there, and one maybe. Anyone else? Any thought as to what time we'd like to meet or where?
Hello again!! Andrew from Cookeville. I changed my plans & am not going to Moonrunners. I am coming to this show instead. If there is a Sunday afternoon meet-up please count me in!!
This sounds awesome!! Not 100% committed to this one because I'm going to the Maryland show on 5/3 and it'll be a lot of driving in addition to the Philly show a couple weeks later, so it'll depend a bit on the success level of an upcoming medical procedure, but if I end up going I'd love to meet some folks :)
When y’all decide I’ll do my best to be there! Sounds fun. :)
Hey Matty & Willi, Have you listened to the podcast that takes place in part, in that venue? About the former proprietor who went missing under a cloud of mystery?
Really wish I could add this to my calendar but considering attending the folk-punk festival in Newport, KY that weekend!!!
I'm driving down from Pittsburgh and would love to join in.
