Lily Valley Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 I know it's a little early to plan, but anyone going to Lexington, KY? Anyone ever been to Lexington? This is the closest George will be getting to the southeast, and happily I have friends at the halfway point to break up the drive. It will still mean a lot of planning and an overnight in Lexington. I'd love to meet up with some other fans. Barring that, I'd also really appreciate advice on where to stay and fun things to do. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lannes Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 It's the closest signing to me too. If it was going to be on a Friday or Saturday night, I could make it work....but, alas, there's no way for me to swing it during the week. :frown5: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romulocks Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 My fiancee and I are from Lexington, we will be in line If there are enough people coming this way, it would be fantastic to get a group together and catch a bite before the signing. Bourbon and Toulouse is a delicious Cajun place that I frequent that would be a good option, or J. J. McBrewsters is a Kentucky BBQ place featured on Diners, Dives, and Drive-Ins.@ Parris, my messenger seems to be malfunctioning, but I wanted to ask, I don't know if George and yourself will be in town early, but if you end up being free and hungry, Sara and I would love to treat you to some local food, cajun, Kentucky BBQ, or whatever...your pick And if anyone else is interested please chime in, a small gathering of BwB members is ALWAYS a good time. Now if I can only find a way to ship Padraig to the States. I miss you Pod!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romulocks Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Also if you have any questions about Lexington, please don't hesitate to ask...but ask me in this thread, as my messenger is broken =( (Ran!! Help) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theMountainGoat Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 My fiancee and I are from Lexington, we will be in line What do you mean "fiancee" are you still not married yet? ;)You should come back to Belfast and have your wedding at TitanCon! We could try to find a registered Septon for the ceremony... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lily Valley Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 I would love to meet up for a bite. Totally unfamiliar with Lexington, dying to eat some KY bbq. We're planning on staying near the bookstore, and recommendations in town would be great. I think PMs are off right now due to troll spoilering.

Romulocks Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 awesome...love those trolls right.they ruin everything goodCurrently no, still engaged. She is in her second year of a two-year teacher apprenticeship, something required in Kentucky, and I'm still in school getting ready to start my own apprenticeship with a local radio station, so we are going to finish those and then proceed. Ideally, next July.We both really want to come back to Belfast, particularly if there is a possibility of another season 2 filming moot or something similar. Would definitely like the chance to have another drink with you Phil and discuss this new book! Too bad you can't join us in Kentucky eh?As far as Ky BBQ goes, there are two places in particular I would recommend, definitely J.J. McBrewsters is one for consideration, it's about a mile from Joseph Beth Bookstore. Also there is Old Kentucky Barbecue located on New Circle Rd. Also really good...

theMountainGoat Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 We are doing something similar!Not just a Moot this year, a fully fledged fan convention called TitanCon and also a Game of Thrones Coach Tour visiting various filming locations including a medieval feast at Castle Ward (Winterfell).

Romulocks Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I'd love to make it back this year, but I don't think there is going to be room in the schedule.I'm shooting for 2012. oh and by the way, when were you dubbed "Lord"? I thought it was just Ser. When did you acquire lands and titles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romulocks Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Oh and Sara wants me to let you know...we wouldn't need a septon, we worship with the old gods, just a weirwood will do, k thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theMountainGoat Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 But septons are easier to find than weirwoods... well we are planning for 2012, I'll see what I can do :)I was Lorded at Worldcon 2010 in Melbourne Australia, almost a year ago ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padraig Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Ok, i've been pretty low profile over the last couple of weeks with reading the book and work.But...good to hear that all seems well Romulocks!Oh and Sara wants me to let you know...we wouldn't need a septon, we worship with the old gods, just a weirwood will do, k thanks.Good choice! I'm sure HBO have a few weirwood trees spare!And whatever about Ireland, Worldcon is in Chicago next year. On the map Kentukcy and Chicago don't seem that far away at least. Should be fun. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romulocks Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 I can be in Chicago within 7 hours...so no, it's not a problem. If you'll be there Padraig, I'm there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romulocks Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I will never forget the shock on all three of our faces when we realized we were at the wrong train station. Irish taxi drivers really do step on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irish taxi drivers really do step on it.Indeed. I was so mortified. Typical me. Trying to be helpful and ending up bringing you both to the wrong train station. Glad you made it in the end. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romulocks Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 It added another great story to the collection, all in all, totally worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buy one get one free Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Wish I could make it :(Lily, about a couple miles from Joe Beth's is Butt Rub BBQ. Others in Kentucky might tell you differently, but I don't find KY bbq anything special. Good, but eh.What Butt Rub does have, though is burgoo, a Kentucky tradition. It is a meat and veggie stew (and really much too hot to eat this time of the year, but it is always served year round and at church picnics.)Mostly in the area you'll be staying is suburban chain stuff. You'll find mom and pops, they're just hard. Downtown, which isn't but a few miles away, has some good restaurants, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
