Oh I'm already giddy.

James. Is that a cashmeir V neck you're wearing? It is looks very soft.

It's very soft.

Here's what I messed up last year. I missed things like I did not know that the movie theater was there. I almost missed laurelized house.

Shoot, Amy, you and I went.

There's so much.

More this year?

You guys, can you reveal the thing that you told me?

What can you tell us?

What can David who sets up everything, he's our set dresser and he makes the entire town of stars hollow fully functional. So he's come up with even more stuff, and it's like his love letter to the fans. So first and foremost it's cookie decorating in front of sookies from eleven to four every day, which is so fun. It gets crowded. People love the cookie decorating fortune teller.

Wow, Nate, please tell me who thinks these things up again? What's his name?

Because he is it's David, and well it's David, Danny and James, quite a.

Few other people.

Are you boy band?

Also?

I wish so every day there'll be a costume get together at three thirty to show off your cosplay at three thirty.

Maybe that sound dirty?

It's fun though, Wait, are you.

Going to give the big thing? Or can we not say it yet?

What's the big thing.

Where's it going to be?

Where's it going to be inside stars haall of high school? They're going to rebuild it where they're I.

Think it's where it's supposed to be in there, that's where it's supposed to be. So yeah, oh.

My gosh, that's what all the merch is.

I think we're the merch.

I don't know yet.

They'll figure it out. I need to go to the apartment for people that don't know. Last year and again, Tar and I almost missed this. We almost missed the jeep. You can sit on Rory's bed and you can sit on their couch.

Photos and the Gilmour's house, you can sit it to the dining room table. Oh, you can sit it at the dining room table.

Yeah, so, because this is overwhelming, we here's what I can tell you. So right now, James will tell you how you can get tickets to all the days, but especially the eighteenth. In a week or so, we will also reveal how you can join the stream because we will be live streaming. Like and when I say live streaming, I think that I'm supposed to say streaming because we don't actually have the technology to do it live live, but we will do it close to live so that

He how do people get tickets? I actually should have that memorized.

Well, it's really easy. It's Wbstudio Tour dot com.

Wbstudio Tour dot com.

Oh.

Also something exciting to say, and Scott, I don't even know if you know this yet.

Oh, and I have something too for you.

So Scott, I did make this executive decision on your behalf one because it takes me a long time to blow drum my hair. So last year we got we started a little too early, and we wrapped a little too early, and we missed the like tree lighting. Yeah, so this year, on the eighteenth, we're starting a tenumite later so I can get my you know, outfit on and everything, but staying for the tree lighting. So you, James, am I right to say that Scott can flip the switch?

Oh gosh, yes? So best of all this is over the top.

Of switched on the eighteenth me? Yes, you he was an honor bestowed upon royalty. How on earth did you swing this?

I just go, I'm a hard negotiator.

Amy, It's.

It's your residency.

You have to be the first to do it.

It was really about my like sleeping. I was like, okay, on the eighteenth, I need to sleep in, I need to blow drum hair, and I feel like we need layers because I'm hoping that I'll be wearing like more of a daytime outfit and then at night I'll switch on to maybe my pink guess coat that Lauren wore as Lora Light in the movie.

You Couldn't Wear. Last year because it was so hot.

I couldn't even remotely wear it.

You know what, I'm gonna wear flannel all the day.

We still have your fancy Ralph Lauren jacket. Yeah, you need us to get you eighteenth flannels. So each day you have an count on your flannels and let us know how short you are.

I'm gonna cover it.

I need choice, says, So I just.

Made up eighteen.

Wait, seventeen seventeen okay.

Okay, so this is best of all over the top grade. I smell snow every night at five thirty for the tree.

Light, stop It, Stop It.

I smell snow at six thirty for the first dance to the song Luke.

And Laurel stop it, stop it right, So the snow is falling, falling.

And thirty six, and I smell snow at seven thirty. Oh my god, when we project all the fan favorite moments onto the building.

Yeah, of course we saw the speakeasy.

That's a lot of product coming in with that gun.

You shoot the skew so that you can bring it up.

It stands for stock keeping unit.

Stock keeping. You know what's funny, James, I thought the whole time that you were saying Scott keeping unit.

Look.

I do conventions. I do conventions to Connecticut and they dress up the towns, the whole thing, and fans love it. They flip out. They come by the thousands.

They love it.

But the real place, the real Stars Hollow, dressed up to the nines, play the lights at night, and the trees and the spotlights and the snow and the skews and the this and the that, you're gonna flip out.

You're gonna slip out.

It's amazing. It's it's better than actually being in the show. If you were to choose, like, can I be an extra in an original episode? Go back and way back machine getting it, or come to come to holidays made here, you'd want to pick holidays?

I agree, I agree, And here's what's crazy.

And then we'll we'll let everybody go because we're going to keep you, you know, informed throughout whatever it is the next month and a half. Yes, I go twice, because I'm telling you last year, I was there all day and I missed them. And I was there all day and I missed whole things.

So she would like pull over and chairs, coffee, Pancake World and just had her little laptop.

Her iPad, got some work done and then walked around like she just kept buying tickets and going.

Living the experience right exactly, that's living the true friend is great. And then she walks outside and it's mayhem, right, Yeah, that's so good.

I've been an Instagram follower from Australia and then one from the UK that keep writing notes like can you please tell me what this November fifth announcement is going to be and you're spilt the beans or the coffee beans today. But now I could finally I.

Met a guy.

We met that cool guy Tara. Remember, he was from like very far.
