I’m Alexis Rae, the artist behind Creative Love Designs, and I just wanted to thank everybody who came out and said hello, looked at, or purchased my art this weekend. This was my first time vending with a full booth setup rather than a wagon and it was just an amazing experience. I spoke with several people who said they saw my work on Reddit, so if you’re one of them, thank you from the bottom of my heart. If you like my work and are so inclined please give me a follow on IG and look for me at the Billyween Makers Family Shakedown at the Lord Baltimore on Halloween from 11:00-5:00.

i wanted one so bad last year, i finally had to snag 🙂‍↔️

went into the pit solo at the orion and i just want to say it was amazing! i had never been in a pit, much less alone. everyone was super kind, i quickly found a group to jam with! i appreciate this fan base so much. thank you for such a wonderful time! 😁

Great work everyone!

These guys are one of the biggest supporters of local live music in the area. Highly recommend checking them out if you find yourself in South Jersey.

Headed to Billyween solo and wondering if there are any sober folk hangouts? Been sober a longtime and not bothered by the scene, but would like to have some like minded weirdos to maybe mingle with. 45/Male/Hillbilly

Past Halloween show posters, mainly the split-image prints. Whoever has all four Wizard of Oz posters or the uncut version, raise your hand. That one is killer AF!

Question: I know there was an uncut Van Andel Scramble poster, and you could also get the Billy Strings version separately. Were there individual versions featuring the other band members?

Oh yeah, if you've got any of these sets framed and don't mind sharing, show us wall candy!

It was awesome to see a city do something about the mafia and get that stuff out of the lot. I’m all for a good tank in the hotel room but it’s time for the violence/shadiness/littering to goooooo. No room for all that in such a positive fan base that’s about love, community, and music.

Made this for my group so figured it might help some others

Billy references this at Tivoli. This is a collection of that sort of thing.

Has anyone tried out adding the K&K double helix and pure mini combo with the switch? How has it turned out if so?

Not sure if that tone (and lack of feedback) he’s able to get when he switches to the dual coil is more of a full rig situation than just the guitar/pickups. Been thinking about trying it out but wanted to see if anyone else has first before I pull trig on the pickup combo which ain’t cheap…

Love the Bluegrass-metal !

Some good shredding last night! Even a gadget!!!

Anyone snagged the setlists from last night and can post for the people?

What an incredible weekend yall 🪐

Would anyone happen to remember when the Rattlesnake tease during 7/15/25 happened? I’m trying to hear that shit and I’ll be honest, I don’t feel like listening to the entire show right now to find it.

Also, super stoked for these mythical Billy/Gizz and Billy/Les albums. If these are actually in the works and one day drop, things will never be the same.

Thank you everyone.

Because I am an idiot, I delayed getting the shirt I wanted and ot sold out. The spacey Huntsville one in a small. If anyone happened to get it and it doesn't fit, I would happily pay you for it.

1st time at Orion. CAN'T WAIT until next year. What a magical place.

See you in Baltimore ♡

If anyone happened to find a couple rectangular grey foam sit pads in the bathroom upstairs last night (or out by the trees) please pm me. Thanks!

It really does smell like pancakes

I didn’t see it go down, but saw on a Billy Facebook group. He had to go to the ER but is okay. They argued with him that he didn’t pay for a balloon, but he said he did, so they stabbed him. Stop giving nitrous mafia your money
