Dinog - GTG stands for get together. March 14 suits me. Rex - Do you think Sunday is better than Saturday? Are we planning a restaurant? March 13 or 14 is fine with me.

You are so very gracious! We may be moving after our return so I have no idea what my life will be like. Just please, after you pick a date, let us all know when, where, and what time. As the time grows closer I will know more and email you. Thanks for all your work.

Okay, a "nucleus" of five of us seem to be onboard, not counting "cd" who might not be able to commit - - and significant others, perhaps in some cases.

So, I am toping again, and throwing out the issue of Saturday versus Sunday - - and the weekend of March 6/7 versus 13/14.

And hoping this catches the attention of other potentially intersted parties.

Pkay, we are set by a consensus opinion that the date will be March 6, at say... 12:30 to 2:30 pm

It will be in the Louisville area, but I am still working choosing a place.

Our tentative "core" of foks attending includes five Fodorites, and two significant others... which includes me and my wife.

Would still be delighted to hear from any others interested in coming. E-mail me to stay in the loop of info on location, etc.

You're welcome, "cd" (I still feel like I don't know "who you are&quot - - e-mail me? where do you live?)

And in case it isn't obvious, that typographical error in the post before yours is supposed to start with the word "Okay"...

I am leaning towards the Rock Wall, which is right in Floyds Knobs, and on many of the top ten lists for the Louisville area - - the only one, as far as I know, on the southern Indiana side of the river - - but I am going to go talk to them tomorrow, about a room for us, etc.

Probably just order off the menu.

I had in mind 12:30 to 2:30. Adjourning to my house is certainly an option, if anyone wishes (not even 400 yards away).

I'll put more into an e-mail to all the invitees who have been communicating together as "our group".

Sorry; one thing after another, personal and work-wise these past 7-10 days. As much as I like the Rock Wall, I am not convinced that it's right for us; no good private or separate room.

I guess I consider us still "on" - - a "go" for Sat, March 6, 12:30-2:30 - - I just need to confirm a place. Will re-focus on Bardstown Rd and/or other east end (Louisville) venues. Hope to be able to focus on it this week.

Rex, how about the Uptown Cafe if you are thinking Bardstown Road? They don't seem to mind if you stay a long time, and their desserts are scrumptious.

I have been to De La Torre's with a group of about 12 and it worked out well. They don't have a private room that I am aware of but it wasn't a problem. It's a very small restaurant with lots of room between tables.

De la Torre's is only open 5:30 to 10 pm. My wife and I did go to Uptown Cafe, and I think it would be fine, but there is no more a private room there than there is at Rock Wall. Give me this weekend to make some additional looks.

Rex- Anywhere will be fine. Our group is not really big enough to need a private room although it would be nice.

Rex,

Although I only live a scant hour from Louisville & I would love to join, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it this trip. I'm sitting for a certification exam 2/27, have promised my kids that weekend (to host sleepovers at our house, etc.) and have promised to spend time with my family in Kentucky the next weekend.

Thanks for posting this on another message. I guess I haven't been on here enough lately to have noticed this GTG message.

Hey KyBourbon, I LOOOOVE Lexington. I lived there for 6 months about 15 years ago. It still holds a special place in my heart.

I just confessed to someone the other day that I only hold 2 loyalties: Oakland Raiders (wherever they may roam, whatever city they find themselves in) & the Kentucky Wildcats!!

GO BIG BLUE!!!
