Gilmore Girl Namedrops First Unitarian, Millions To Regard Church As Ground Zero Of Indie Rock

DAN GROSS REPORTS: R5 Productions’ Sean Agnew was at First Unitarian Church Tuesday, when Andrew W.K. was doing a spoken-word event, when the text messages began pouring into his cell phone. The church, where he books indie rock, punk and hip-hop shows, had just been name-dropped on “Gilmore Girls.” Agnew said he thought it was all a big mistake until he downloaded the episode yesterday and saw for himself.

Agnew was surprised, and points out that Tokyo Police Club [pictured], a real band with whom a “Gilmore Girls” character was to tour, actually played the First Unitarian several weeks ago.
