I'd like to start a Do-it-yourself zip code listener party option, so that one could meet and listen with local FOT at a nearby home or venue together. Official FOT gatherings are few and far between, and most of us never get there for one reason or another. So, this could be the DIY alternative, certainly no substitute, but a humble, local alternative.
If you are interested, post your zip code/ or area here. Please mention if you are willing to host, or to find the local venue, or can suggest a place to listen in your area.
You may not want to host total FOT strangers in your own home, so maybe try to find an amenable local club, bar, restaurant, late night public library or train station with free Wi-Fi.
Let the sorting begin!

I dress up in a possum costume and eat trash whenever I listen live to The Best Show.
The reasons why are between me and my holistic therapist.
I just hope you can be open minded enough to accept me for who I am.

though I'm in downtown Seattle when the show starts (5pm Pacific) as I'm leaving work. Unless I'm the only 9-to-5'er?

Including one of the Atl zip codes, I got 34218, Bradenton Beach, Florida. A 1.5 hour drive from New Port Richey.

i would also like someone to host a double-feature Roadhouse Blues and Mr. Brooks party.

I'll host if you don't mind pesky pets

I'm going to guess that turns out to be in Ohio or Pennsylvania.

There is indeed a Best Show listening party that takes place in Portland, Oregon (97215, I believe). It is glorious.

Where were you all last night? I sat here with trays of prosciutto, veggies, and vegan cheese for three hours, sobbing into my keg of Bass Two-Hearted Ale.

We got a good number out back in April for an FOT meetup in Chapel Hill before the Ted Leo show. If Triangle area folks were down for making occasional listener parties a thing, I'd be down for helping to plan. Surely some local dive here would be willing to accommodate us for three hours on a Tuesday, yeah?
(And Pastor Josh, as a Michigander, I feel the need to correct you-- its Bell's Two Hearted Ale, though there is a fish on the label. Nonetheless, an excellent beer selection- Bell's is definitely one of the top ten things that makes me proud to hail from the Great Lakes State).

Thanks. I so consistently make that mistake that I've given hope of ever getting it right. Do you know if they changed their recipe, or did I just get something from a weird batch recently? It wasn't bad, but it wasn't right.

Right outside of Harrisburg, PA. I have been curious about meeting other FOT in the area since I heard at least two thanked during the marathon.

I find that listening with other people, even people who are familiar with the show, is pretty weird. I'd imagine a long drive would work, but otherwise, I don't know what to look at.
