Where is the Music Row Happy Hour located?
What time does the Happy Hour begin and end?
Are reservations or tickets required? Can I get a table?
How do I get on the air?
The best way to get on the air is to fill out a card that we provide on-site and tell us about your group and experience. Keep in mind that showing up early or bringing gifts does not increase your chances of being on the air. There are no guarantees, as on-air opportunities are limited.
Can I bring gifts?
I cannot make it to the Happy Hour, but is it possible to still send Buzz a patch?
Where can we share updates from the Happy Hour and relive the experience later?
Where do we find details about select/remote shows of the Happy Hour?
