Dinner Plans in LEXINGTON!

Hello ya'll - Below is a PORTION of a post I just sent to the Va-Board, in reference to the Kentucky convention and trying to meet up for dinner. I know some of the grad posters and main board posters have also brought up getting together and "where" to?" but I'm not sure if anything has been actually planned.    Here are some of my suggestions. Like I said, I havent a clue if others already have things lined up [ (pout) and maybe didn't invite me.]    Say it isn't so?!?!?!        ...but, if you're free and trying to find a place to go/hook up, maybe these will work. If you have any other ideas/suggestions, please share!  ALSO, even if you can't go at a specific time, or place, please be sure to say HELLO if you end up in the restaurant with a different group.     If you hear a tall bigmouth polynesian redneck yappin' from ten tables over, most likely it's me!  Yah, I'm just quiet like that, I guess.  I want to meet as many of you as I possibly can, oh, and  I'm NOT the bashful type - expect hugs!!! - Lei :::::::::: CUT AND PASTE FROM VA BOARD :::::::::::: I was going to send Natalie and Patty an email today about a few restaurant options for Thursday night. I have a good friend that lives in Kentucky and he said we'd be absolutely SILLY to come all the way to 'Tucky and NOT try the "ASIAN WIND" (Chinese restaurant) which is about 4 or 5 miles from the Radisson. That might be a good one to explore our first night there? I think that's when we'll ALL have the "most time on our hands" as a group. I couldnt find an actual site for them, but I found many many write ups (Reviews) and all were powerful. Here's one - a quick google should get you more. I wanna meet "HARRISON"!! I think we'll have enough cars, between us, to get the VA-group out there. Anyone interested in dinner, let's say at 6:30 or 7:00 ....here? http://chefmoz.org/United_States/KY/Lexington/Asian_Wind945848299.html It'll be HARD to leave the hotel on Friday for a meal, since there is only a 2 hour break, between the breakout sessions and the costume party. Assuming that's the case, then the hotel restaurant might be the best choice for Friday night? It also comes with great reviews, so I'm more then gamed if others want to join. The name of it is, Cafe on the Park, and here is their link. http://www.cafeonthepark.com/enter.html ...and for Saturday night, maybe De Sha's? Another good friend in Lexington (Dana Barr, 6 years post op) highly recommended this place. She said it's within WALKING distance of our hotel. Havent a clue what it's going to be like trying to get a big group into ANY of these places (but specifically this one) so if people are interested in going, a reservation might be our best bet - since a few from the Grads board have also talked about a Saturday final dinner. http://www.tavernrestaurantgroup.com/html/lexington.html Okay - TADA, those are my suggestions!

I am getting in Thursday around one.  I won't have my own car, but would love to meet for dinner at any local restaurant.  I will be at the Radisson .  Loris D.

Hello Loris -  That sounds great - there is a good chance that I won't be able to carpool with Natalie and Patty (but instead will FOLLOW them in my car) so we should have more then enough vehicles to get us there. I will be TOO BUSY running, checking in, unpacking, etc to be able to contact anyone - but let's go with the plan to MEET IN THE LOBBY, no later then 6:00, on Thursday.    Also, I'm going to call ASIAN WIND late tomorrow night, or early Wed. to make reservations, so depending on what time they can actually sit us (6:30 or 7:00) might adjust the "lobby hour" ...keep checking the VA BOARD, I'll post a final on Wed. http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/VA Trust me, although we've never met, I'm an easy target to find, look for the 6 foot blonde in heels.   If you don't see me first, you'll hear me - never was the quiet type. See you Thursday night .....Lei

I'll be the short busty blonde one.  Hee hee.  Loris

lol - girl, you better not reach out and SLAP me if Im staring at your breasts, afterall, I'm just following instructions and trying to identify you!  :)

Staring is allowed.  ;)

Hey Beautiful, I will only be there for the Friday night dinner, as I am arriving Friday morning and leaving Sat night, but I am definately game for dinner at the hotel.  I sooooo can't wait to get there and meet you.  This is gonna be so much fun. Love Heidi

Hello Heidi -   Dinner on Friday sounds GREAT!    I'm thinking the SOONER the better?   The last of the breakout sessions is 5:00 (I think? gonna have to look at the schedule) ....and meeting for dinner at 5:01 might be the ticket, so we still have time to go to our rooms and change.   LOL, sorry, I am SOOOOOOOOOOOO NOT WEARING MY COSTUME TO DINNER!  :)      Ugh - it's gonna require that I hold my stomach in the entire night, and that's damn near impossible when Im eating.   We can hash out the final details of Friday night during the afternoon.  Just need to find a "hook up" place in the afternoon - I honestly don't know (how many. if any) of the sessions I'll be attending.  This far out, there's isnt a whole lot more I can learn, you know?   Not saying I know it all, but....well, hell, I don't have to explain myself to you cause I know you completely UNDERSTAND! See you in four - hugs, Lei

There are sessions?   I keep forgetting that part.  lol lol  I just wanna have fun, no matter what we are doing, sessions, dinner, dancing whatever.  I am game, I never get to have fun, I always hold back.  Not this time. Hugs Heidi

Checking out the "break out sessions" ...and found one, that says "Meet at the HOT TUB and INDOOR POOL at Noonish" ...does yours say that too?   :) Bring your bathing suit, might have to squeeze some "mermaid" time into the busy weekend too! Can't wait to finally meet you!!!
