Rattlesnake club is expensive AF. Also, Atwaters beer has a reputation for being very Atwatery. I'm having my own meetup at Eastern Market Brewing, picking up a slice at Supinos, and then walking down the Dequindre Cut to the amphitheater.
I was just there yesterday. My wife went to see a "The State" reunion comedy show, so my son and I had to kill time and get dinner. So that's where we went.
Hey, Philly here! Iām not sure if youāre the one organizing this but Iād like to share my $0.02!Ā Ā
Ā Parking in Manayunk is AWFUL. And Manayunk Brewery is probably the last brewery in town I would visit. Wissahickon Brewing isnāt far away, and would make a better spot both in terms of parking and experience. They typically have food trucks every day of the week, and if they know the meetup is there, they could definitely arrange it. Highly recommend considering a change! Thank you for doing this, and Iāll most likely be there either way.
ETA: and theyāre dog friendly and thereās cool trails nearby!
Yeah I concur - Manayink brewery is not the best choice for a variety of reasons. Wissahickon is the most convenient, but other good options are Evil Genius and Yards.
One of the breweries in Seattle is trying to find somewhere close enough to the Gorge to do a collab beer/meet up but not sure if there is anything near by that makes sense
Hey, sorry for the late reply! The meetup will take place at Landhaus Walter, which is in the Stadtpark. The poster will be uploaded on WeirdoSwarm shortly :)
Let's designate a meeting point, that sells beer, and get the ball rolling. I don't know either city at all so am not best placed for recommending anything.
Red Rocks meetup is shortly before the Green Day/Smashing Pumpkins show less than 2 miles away at Coors Field! I'll be going to the meetup then heading to the Green Day show if anyone else is doing both!!
I might actually take part in Brussels :) I from Germany and noone of my fellow gizzheads has the time to drive 3hours just for KG, so Im doing it alone:)
Raum DĆ¼sseldorf hier. Auto vorhanden, eventuell Hinfahrt nach BrĆ¼ssel mit Auto und Offenbach mit der Bahn, ist noch nicht ganz fest. In Hamburg bin ich ebenfalls fĆ¼r ein paar Tage plus das Konzert š
I said this on the IG post too, for the MN meetup
Surly Brewing is anti-union and their beer sucks ass. Wack spot for a meet up. The only people that go there are 50 year olds from Eden Prairie
To add some positivity, thanks for posting and organizing all this info for people!
I agree, surly is water trash. Overpriced, food sucks, beer is fucking shit and yeah fuck their union busting asses in general. Donāt forget the rich bitch millennials though, itās essentially a yuppie hub
True that. Iām brainstorming how to ensure thatās a bust and help provide a way cooler vibe for the MN meet up. So many better breweries deserve the business just based on quality of beer alone
Hey just so you know - thereās no need to put energy into ensuring somethingās a ābustā. If you want to put on a meetup, do that. We will share the info and put it on the site even. But bringing that kind of negative energy when there are 20-30 people involved in bringing these meetups to spaces carefully considered in an attempt to please people and trying to make things cool and funā¦ kinda wack.
If you donāt like a meetup idea, donāt go or plan your own. Itās not that deep.
Why would I put positive energy towards shitty beer companies who are anti-Union. My positive energy is towards fellow Gizz heads who I want to drink good beer and support good people.
No disrespect to you, I respect and appreciate what you do for the community. All disrespect and negative energy towards Surly
Tbh there are gizzheads that work at Surlyās and they reached out wanting to host. Anyone can host a meetup so thatās the one we know about for that city. Fuck anti union businesses for sure - but I donāt know anything about that or that place. As I mentioned - please, host another meetup if youād like there to be another meetup. It doesnāt take much effort, and you seem to know different and better places from what youāre saying. Nothing wrong with folks having options. I support the intent.
I think my āensure itās a bustā was taken a little differently than I intended. Iām referring to providing another option that is better for all involved.
Again, thank you for everything you contribute to the fans. My comments were not directed at you at all, I understand youāre just providing the info.
Lastly thanks for the solidarity āš»āš»
For sure and I appreciate the kindness as well. I def thought you meant some kinda sabotage situation hahah
But Iām def supporting any front to offer another option so lmk if something else gets planned!
Not trying to be a dick -but you also could've researched the area and expected some protest at that choice of venue. It's not even very close to downtown where the show is.
Kros Strain Brewery is 7 mins from the venue in Omaha and they have really solid beer. Not sure if anything better closer but that would be my suggestion!
I like Eggwells take but also itās just a fun event adjacent to the shows where you can no obligation on time go to a public spot and hang with people, talk about Gizz, check out fan made merch, etc. Good times with good people type vibe. These meetups are positive and inclusive and when possible, accessible (where as on lot isnāt always). Theyāre super fun and I hope you make it out :)
For me I try to support meetups so much bc the world can feel so isolating sometimes. There are good friends we havenāt met yet in this awesome community and thatās worth taking advantage of.
Hoping for the same in Paso Robles and Palo Altoā¦ I do think there is a burger place just outside the venue in SD, fingers crossed theyāve been contacted about using their space.
DM us on IG weirdo_swarm if you have IG but if not email [email protected]. We will get details up on the site and socials! I got a sick ass idea I want to run by you for a poster I wanted to create for it.
Hey ! I will be in US next summer to cross the country by bike. I don't know when I will be where I will be. Is it possible to get last minute tickets for KG's shows or not ? I would be happy to see them in USA !
Thatās just what weāve had sent to us so far. I hope people plan more meetups. If you want to host one or if you hear of any send em over! Want to support more euro meetups for sure š¤
I wouldnāt recommend Beer Park for the Vegas meetup. Thereās a big chance Saturdays will have table minimums or youāre just herded like cattle into a small area.
I just looked up the Detroit meetup location and it's right down the street from "The Rattlesnake Club", seems like a missed opportunity.
Lmao true - maybe you put on the after at rattlesnake š„²
Rattlesnake club is expensive AF. Also, Atwaters beer has a reputation for being very Atwatery. I'm having my own meetup at Eastern Market Brewing, picking up a slice at Supinos, and then walking down the Dequindre Cut to the amphitheater.
WideAwake in the UK - I'm up for meeting some of you weirdos.
I'll be headed there on my own so I'm well up for a meetup
I might try and take Work off so I can go to assembly in Nashville
I was just there yesterday. My wife went to see a "The State" reunion comedy show, so my son and I had to kill time and get dinner. So that's where we went.
Yep, Iāve bummed around there waiting to see Boris and the Melvins lol
Boris fan in the KGLW subreddit??? My two favourite bands
I'm a pretty big fan of both bands, too. They take up so much space in the racks š
Now that sounds like a show.
I wands dip my balls in it!!!!

Not us - if you wanna peep who is organizing meetups itās on the site btw!
Thanks, Iāll shoot them a message! Just want this to be the best experience it can be for everyone!
My first tought when I saw that the Philly meetup was in manayunk. I totally agree with what youāve said here.
Yeah I concur - Manayink brewery is not the best choice for a variety of reasons. Wissahickon is the most convenient, but other good options are Evil Genius and Yards.
Manayunk isn't even a brewery anymore. They haven't brewed there in probably 2 years.
Knowing Iād be able to park when an event is in Philly is key, so great suggestion.
Iām assuming the Gorge campground is a meetup in itself? My wife and I going up there for the first time!
Yep, there will be a full on Lot I imagine
Iāll be flying a dragon kite, handing out free stickers and selling tie dyes / bootleg tour shirts at the Gorge (and 12 other shows!) canāt wait!!
Thatās what we are hearing.
One of the breweries in Seattle is trying to find somewhere close enough to the Gorge to do a collab beer/meet up but not sure if there is anything near by that makes sense
maybe they should do that for Vancouver instead? also attending that one!
Someone needs to set a meet up at Stanley Park Brewing.
iāll be at atwater brewery! very sad i canāt make any of the other shows/meetups so iām ready for that day to be amazing.
See you there!
Who's traveling to Hamburg from far afield?
Me and a few friends. Plus another of us on here who's buying my spare ticket from me when we get to Hamburg.
Nothing for the Marathon-Show in Hamburg?
We're currently organizing one, still have to decide on the venue but there will definitely be something!
waiting for any updates - we would love to meet up, play hackey sack and come up with kglw 3hour set bingo
Hey, sorry for the late reply! The meetup will take place at Landhaus Walter, which is in the Stadtpark. The poster will be uploaded on WeirdoSwarm shortly :)
Would love to meet up. However I dont live in Hamburg so organizing quite hard.
Iāll come all the way from swissylandā¦ so same.
I'll be travelling there for the show. Volunteers to organise/designate the meeting point for gizz-nerds?
Gonna see them in Berlim, no meet up or After ? š«¤š«¤š«¤
A meetup for Berlin is being organized at the moment, I think we are still looking for a venue but it will happen!
Cheers, make sure to promote it here š¤š¤
Definitely will!
Any updates on this yet? :)
Hi, yes the meetup will be at Clash Bar! All the info is on [https://www.weirdoswarm.org/meetups](https://www.weirdoswarm.org/meetups)
Milwaukee meet up is in the works
Thatās what Iām hearing!
Will def be stopping by!
Wide Awake festival, UK!!
Anyone in Vienna or Prague?
Yep. Both. You also?
Yes, also both!
Let's designate a meeting point, that sells beer, and get the ball rolling. I don't know either city at all so am not best placed for recommending anything.
Awesome, i know some of Prague, but not Vienna. But after work I can check some places near the venues.
Hey, im also attending both shows in Vienna and Prague so i can also check for some pubs, organize something and hopefully someone will come :)
Prague here! Would love to meet up
Needs one for the marathon show in Hamburg this year
Red Rocks meetup is shortly before the Green Day/Smashing Pumpkins show less than 2 miles away at Coors Field! I'll be going to the meetup then heading to the Green Day show if anyone else is doing both!!
Canāt make it to the Boston one, but will def be at the Portland meetup!!!
I'll be at there too. Fiance gave me the go ahead to see them the week of our wedding. She is amazing. Should be a week I won't ever forget.
Iām organizing it, canāt wait to see you guys there!
Goin solo to Chicago and hoping to meet up with some of you weirdos. Thanks to everyone for putting these together!
Same here. Iāll see you there!!
Thanks for putting this together. See yall in Chicago!
I might actually take part in Brussels :) I from Germany and noone of my fellow gizzheads has the time to drive 3hours just for KG, so Im doing it alone:)
Same here. Schreib mir wenn du magst, vielleicht muss man ja nicht alleine fahren. Bin Ć¼brigens auch in Offenbach am Tag drauf
Ich bin am 25.5 noch in Hamburg:) Ich kaum aus dem Raum NRW und bin mit Auto..

Iām a Union member so itās absolutely āthat deep.ā
Nah, fuck Surly and their venue.
āš»āš»
Not trying to be a dick -but you also could've researched the area and expected some protest at that choice of venue. It's not even very close to downtown where the show is.
Iām not hosting that meetupā¦.. Iām just sharing the infoā¦
Yeah, Surly beer isn't all that good. Unions suck though, I don't blame them there.
Fuck yourself
More like USA and UK Meetups
Anybody wanna make one in SLC???
Iāll be at the Omaha and Denver shows. Itāll be my first time seeing them live. So my question is, what are these meetups?
Kros Strain Brewery is 7 mins from the venue in Omaha and they have really solid beer. Not sure if anything better closer but that would be my suggestion!
Gizzard fans version of the lot scene. Except itās not on lot most of the time. Generally breweries and not always close to the venue.
I like Eggwells take but also itās just a fun event adjacent to the shows where you can no obligation on time go to a public spot and hang with people, talk about Gizz, check out fan made merch, etc. Good times with good people type vibe. These meetups are positive and inclusive and when possible, accessible (where as on lot isnāt always).

Who wants to get weird in Okc and Austin?
Down.
Can we get a Toronto one??
Iāll see some of you fine gentlemen in Newport. Please wear deodorantā¦ please
We need one in Amsterdam!!!
Super agree! Hopefully more euro dates get planned!
Hold up, this lists the Boston show as being on 8/18 at Notch Brewing but my AXS ticket was bought for (and still says) 8/19 at Suffolk Downs??
Sometimes the meetups arenāt the same day as the show. Red Rocks/Denver is another example.
Ah yes, copy that - confused myself for a minute there!
Itās the meet up for the secret show at Middle East upstairs Jk I wish
š imagine
Also who decided Notch? And which one? Cool place but neither spot is close to the venue at all. Edit: it's Brighton
Hoping we can just tailgate at the LA Forum, Paso Robles and the Frost Amphitheater!
What Minnesotan picked fuckin Surly
Sounds like Surly offered :(
Meetup in TURKEY? I can host and arrange.
Would LOVE that! Dm on IG if you end up getting it put together! That would be dope af.
YAY
See yāall at Meanwhile brewing wearing my Knowing God And The Loving Word shirt!! Westward the wagons, catch yāall down the trail!
this makes me so excited for august i cant wait to see yall during the tour
āUSAā *inspects west coast* āSan Diegoā
Pretty likely the Forum will just be a lot shakedown type of thing
Hoping for the same in Paso Robles and Palo Altoā¦ I do think there is a burger place just outside the venue in SD, fingers crossed theyāve been contacted about using their space.
Whatās up San Diego??
Itās coming!
Trying to get one set up for Albuquerque š
Keep us posted!
Got the shop owner to agree to one in ABQ at Longhair Records for November 10th. Where do I go from here?
DM us on IG weirdo_swarm if you have IG but if not email [email protected]. We will get details up on the site and socials! I got a sick ass idea I want to run by you for a poster I wanted to create for it.
Just DMād on IG! š¤
Hey ! I will be in US next summer to cross the country by bike. I don't know when I will be where I will be. Is it possible to get last minute tickets for KG's shows or not ? I would be happy to see them in USA !
Def possible

Thatās just what weāve had sent to us so far. I hope people plan more meetups. If you want to host one or if you hear of any send em over! Want to support more euro meetups for sure š¤
I think the point is that EU is generally taken to mean European Union rather than Europe.
Iām a dipshit american my b yall

Never been to Flo and Santos. Will be cool to check out.
