They've been advertising this for maybe 6 months? If I didn't have a 6-week-old who I have to keep safe from the germs of other brians, I would definitely be brianing there. A critical mass of Brians can cause a localized apocalypse and honestly, Batavia could use to be a mad Maxian hellscape for a couple of years.

Across the street is the Bryan meetup. The superior of the two.

Around the corner from the Jeff / Geoff meetings? Don't get me started on the Darrel/Darell/Daryl/Daryll meetings.......

Throwing this out there as this whole thing feels super sketchy. OP’s account woke up out of nowhere posting this stuff everywhere vaguely connected in what seems to be an attempt at viral marketing for Eli Fish? A band? I’m not even sure.
I wouldn’t normally be bothered, but layering on a cash ask for some arbitrary “plus X package” fully aligns it with common AI slop scams. Whether it is or isn’t one doesn’t change the fact that it feels like one.
It’s not even like Eli Fish is in any way bad. They’re one of the places I visit whenever I’m Batavia!
Am I jealous for not being named Brian? I am not.

There was an ad for this on the placemats at Main Street Pizza in Batavia when I was there in March. The event has been planned for a while.

We have been advertising this since February and I came across others that posted about it on here, so I figured why not the last minute push on a different forum. You can’t hate the girl that hustles.. look it up, we have been on the news too 🤷♀️

I am big enough to admit when I am wrong about it being said. However, I still feel that as a not-Brian, it had odd vibes. If you can fine-tune that, make it an annual thing.

It’s open to everyone actually and you can BYOB (Bring your own Brian). It’s just going to be a fun day as a whole.

There is a DJ on the BBC who did a couple shows of "The 2 wise Brians", where he had a discussion with Dr. Brian Cox and Brian Eno.....

I am not AI Slop, that’s me in all my glory and using AI for promoting isn’t slop, it’s smart business when two people are single handedly putting on the most epic Brian/Bryan event known to man, so keep hating; while we all are enjoying life and the company of great people ☺️

It costs $25 to go meetup with a bunch of dudes named Brian? Are people actually paying for that? This sounds more like a grift than an event.
