Why We Can’t Stop Watching the Gilmore Girls

February 20, 2025 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm

$15

Fast-talking, warm-hearted, and endlessly rewatchable, Gilmore Girls has bonded real-life mothers and daughters since 2000, when its iconic pilot introduced us to Lorelai, Rory, and their idyllic Connecticut town of Stars Hollow. More than twenty years later, it has become one of the most-streamed TV shows, ever.

To celebrate the 20 year anniversary of this iconic show, River Bend Bookshop and the Connecticut Museum are pairing up to present an evening with best-selling author Ann Hood, the editor of a new anthology, Life’s Short, Talk Fast: Fifteen Writers on Why We Can’t Stop Watching the Gilmore Girls. Ann will be joined by fellow authors Michael Ruhlman, Tracey Minken, and Rand Richards Coopers, one of the essayists in the collection. Join us for a discussion about exactly what the essays ask: why can’t we stop watching this show?

Before the author discussion, come to the museum early to view our newest exhibition, Coffee: A Connecticut Story and then hang out for some Gilmore Girls trivia, themed treats, and more! Copies of the book will be available for purchase and signing.
