Hello! You look like you could use a vacation. We could, too.

Which is why we’re inviting you to join us in Santa Barbara, California this November 1st & 2nd for our first ever weekend-long Murderino gathering that we’ve dubbed MY FAVORITE WEEKEND! Each day will be packed with everything from exclusive merch gifts, to an opening cocktail reception where you can mingle with fellow Murderinos, to special guest appearances from some of our Exactly Right friends like Jensen & Holes from The Murder Squad, and Steven & Sara from The Purrrcast, and of course, MFM LIVE SHOWS! Plus a whole lot of other fun surprises we can’t tell you about yet. It’ll be a great time, trust us. You can choose to stay for two nights, three nights, or really milk those sick days you’ve been saving up at work and stay for four nights at one of our partnering hotels. We’ll provide all of the transportation between the hotels and event venues (for those not staying within a short walking distance), so don’t even sweat that. Oh, and did we mention it’s in Santa Barbara? That’s right. Sunny, warm, obnoxiously perfect Santa Barbara, CA. So come hang out with us! Because, why not? You deserve it!

The Venue & Location

The Arlington Theatre
1317 State St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101

Our host venue, the historic Arlington Theatre, was built in 1931 and is the largest performing arts venue in Santa Barbara, California. The Arlington was designed in the Mission Revival during a period when Santa Barbara was being rebuilt following a powerful earthquake in 1925. The theatre’s atmospheric interior is elaborately decorated, with faux-Spanish villas and a ceiling filled with twinkling stars. We look forward to welcoming you to the Arlington in November!

 

Santa Barbara

Situated on a south-facing section of California’s famed coastline, Santa Barbara lies between the steeply rising Santa Ynez Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. Santa Barbara’s climate is often described as Mediterranean, and the city has been promoted as the “American Riviera”. In addition to being a popular tourist and resort destination, the city also has its fair share of local true crime lore, making it the perfect destination for our inaugural weekend together in California. Want to learn more about the beautiful city of Santa Barbara?

Food & Beverages

California’s Santa Barbara County owes its success with cool climate wines (notable Chardonnay, Syrah and Pinot Noir) to a geological oddity: coastal valleys that run east-west and serve as superhighways for chilly ocean air. Here, you’ll find some of the best wineries on the West Coast as well as a burgeoning culinary scene that guarantees something for everyone. Have a look at our suggested restaurants & wineries list for recommendations during your MFW trip.

 

Retail & Wellness Activities

In addition to on-site fitness centers and beach access at a majority of our hand-selected hotels, there are a number of wellness activities, including: spa services, massages, salons, hydrotherapy and more. If you’re looking for retail therapy, the historic State Street Plaza in downtown Santa Barbara is one of America’s most pedestrian-friendly spaces, with shop-lined streets featuring specialty storefronts to national brands, and regional gallery favorites to indie boutiques.
