We’re getting back to our roots. Sort of. When we first started touring nearly a decade ago, our “events” were aggressively simple. In fact, they weren’t really events—they were small meetups. (Pictured above: The Minimalists at a twelve-person meetup in 2011.)
Back then, we’d simply pick a date, time, city, and venue, and then we’d announce it once via email. That was it. Then, whether there were seven or 70 people there, we’d host an impromptu one-hour discussion with whoever showed up.
We learned a lot from those initial meetups, so much so that we’re going to try it again. But with a twist. When we travel to a new city, we’ll announce a free Unscripted meetup 24 hours in advance. You’ll be notified about these private meetups only if you’re on our email list or in our text message group. (Don’t worry, we’ll never send spam, junk, or ads.)
Since we’re traveling to Utah soon to finish the soundtrack to our next film, Less Is Now, we’re going to host our first Unscripted meetup this week in Salt Lake City. Details will hit your inbox or text messages soon. We’ll do more cities in the future.
We don’t know what to expect from these Unscripted meetups—they will be considerably different from our thousand-person tour stops, which usually include a talk, live podcast, and special guests—but we’ll be there with open hearts, open minds, and free hugs. (Note: for contractual reasons, we can’t host Unscripted meetups while on tour, so if we have a regularly scheduled event near you, get your tickets while they’re still available.)
