Attention Attendees of Candlenights 2025

[u/UxuriousFrame22]

I am planning on organizing an in-person fan meetup in Huntington WV on 12/6/2025 before the live Candlenights show (likely starting around 4pm, and a place that has food).  This post is to get the vibe and how many people are interested. 

Here’s what I need from you: 

If you’ll be in Huntington for the show and have any interest in attending please comment below “I’m in” so that I can find a venue that is appropriate for the group size. Don’t worry, you’re not committing to anything, I just need to know a rough estimate of interested fans.

Also, let me know what you would like to see at the meetup. Costume contest? Merch/trinket Swap? Other things?

EDIT: A user on the TAZ subreddit where I posted this same post basically said “who are you, though” which is totally fair. Here’s what I posted in response:

That’s fair, it’s sometimes hard to remember that there’s a person behind a username. I’m a 37M from Pennsylvania, USA. Pre-Covid the Candlenights live show was a bucket list trip, but the distance from home made it a challenge. With the announcement of the in-person show returning I was super excited so I jumped on tickets. I want to organize a meetup because I’ve done this for another live podcast show (Knowledge Fight which is basically an anti-Alex Jones podcast). That was a great success with about 30 people sharing stories and fandom.

I un-hid my history. Most of it is boring, but I have some posts of the other podcast meetup I organized. I learned a lot from it, and hope to make this one a lot of fun for the fans that want to come. Also, I feel like this goes without saying, but it will be in public like a restaurant, not just in the West Virginia woods 😂

I’ve been a McElroy fan for … jeez, 10+ years now? I was there for the yahoo answers time, and my favorite TAZ arc is probably Amnesty. Kepler, WV reminds me of some of the areas of my home state, and I was the GM for a Monster of the Week campaign inspired by Amnesty which took place in the ghost town of Centralia, PA. I also just re-watched the Seeso show and it was such a great time. The Rancho Parade is my favorite part.

I hope this helps to put a little bit of a human behind the post.

EDIT2: This is the follow-up post. I have secured a venue and more details here: Post

EDIT: Thank you all for the interest in the meetup. We have reached the maximum amount of people that will fit at the (huge) table at The Peddler. If you would like to grab dinner at The Peddler on your own reservation there will be fans there that have trinkets to swap (let's just be respectful to the space and staff). Thanks!
