Full Version: The Dame, Lexington Feb 17/2006
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, it's early but whatevah. I missed Taft, so color me a little more eager than usual. This is a replacement date for a cancelled show, though, so I'm wondering if I can still get tickets? Anybody know if it's still possible to get 4 tickets? Also, who else is coming? I assume the McFaddens, of course, & Bill, obviously...
belly, i haven't picked up any tickets yet, but you can't bet your ace i won't be missing a show @ the dame.
you can buy tickets here in advance if you choose: The Dame
i'm pretty sure kylie and mariesa are coming down, prob stiv and/or amanda. shawn? bruce? anybody else?

Yeppers....as far as we know right now we will be there....havn't picked up tickets yet.....
No worries Belly, all tickets from the December show were refunded...so sales have started over.
Not sure about a pre-show meet up though with work and all...we'll see....

Excellent news, gentlemen. Thanks. That link to the Dame didn't work, btw. Is that the only way to get tickets?

I'm planning on being there. I'll be leaving from the downtown Cincinnati area and I don't mind picking up hitch hikers.
*bump*
So what time are people arriving in LEX?

great little club. great sound system. nice people run the place, they treat the artists and the crowd with respect. prob (comfortably) holds a little over 200 people and they almost always sell out. K&L seem to love the place, every time i have seen them here it's been a nice show.
there is a cool hat shop next door too.
c'mon, do it. what the hell...
Would anyone be up for meeting for dinner before the show? Anyone know of a good place?

Being a Friday night I think most of us will be lucky to make it in time to line up. At least that is what we've run into in the past for weekday shows. That said, there are quite a few little places and a couple more expensive places in downtown Lexington. It all depends on what you want and your budget.
Amanda and I were planning on either Sawyers or DaShas, both are across the street and down a couple of blocks from the Dame.
Another thing everyone should know about the Dame. Listed show time is 99% of the time actually doors open time.

That said I still recommend showing up early.
I was hoping to sneak away and still go to this, but I'm still unsure. Thanks Shawn for the share-a-ride offer, but it's probably best for me to sit this one out. It's been a crazy week and I'm up early tomorrow to catch a matinee in Dayton with my parents and family for birthday/anniversaries from last week. Sure, sure - normally I could get home from Lexington at 1:30, go out party 'til 3am, then get up at 8am to hang with my family but I must be getting old...

GASP!!! are you saying that that last birthday did THE BRUCE™ in???
you are our loving energizer bunny!!
peace,

Well, it WAS a rough week!
if it's any consolation, I've decided to head to Kentucky anyway. Well, just to Turfway track instead...

"have fun at the show. tell k and l i said hi. get the set list!".

So since you got the date wrong Bruce I hope we'll see ya next week
I am a jackass!
The 17th I'm in Buffalo for work. If any of you are in Buffalo, I think I'll be onstage singin' somewhere that night, and not karaoke! Just a song or two, with a buddy's band from up there...

Don't feel bad Bruce. I just found out last Wed. that the show was this week (17th) and not last Friday. I'm a jackass also. What a let down. Now I have to wait another week! 
Anyway.... My offer for carpooling to the show THIS FRIDAY still stands for anyone that wants to go. I have a whole backseat open. PM me or something. I'm leaving from the downtown Cincy area.

Nothing official is in the works for a Pre-show pow-wow that I am aware of....A couple of people have mentioned getting together for dinner, and I know amanda and I will be doing something...just not sure what yet.
I figure unless something else comes up we will meet everyone in line around 6:30 or 7
Feel free to start making plans

Jake and I will probably be available for dinner should plans develop. We're leaving Louisville at 4:30 to beat the traffic, which should put us in Lexington by about 6. If it's close to the Dame it shouldn't be a problem.
Okay... Bill and I were just talking...
We were thinking about meeting at the Dame at 5:30... find a place to get some food within walking distance?? How does that sound?
Stiv... maybe you chould pick something(cheap)?
Looks like it's gonna be...

Kylie, the name of that place didn't happen to be called Portifinos did it?
I'll let you peruse this while I find more details..
Actually, I think this about covers it. There is a Subway, a little hot dog place, and probably a couple of other little places. Amanda and I were thinking about Sawyer's. I don't remember what their price range is though...

Dining Out
Downtown is home to many of Lexington’s most popular and creative restaurants. In addition to the excellent hotel restaurants, Cafe on the Park at the Radisson, The Glass Garden at the Hyatt Regency or Jonathan’s at the Gratz Park Inn, you can walk to a variety of delicious experiences, as fancy or informal as you desire. From the more than 80 places to eat in downtown Lexington, here are a few suggestions:
If you want to grab something fast, visit the Food Court at The Shops at Lexington Center, or pick up a deli sandwich at Courtyard Deli on Cheapside. Sublime traditional, Sicilian and specialty pizzas are found at Joe Bologna’s, 120 W. Maxwell St. This local favorite also serves pasta and awesome breadsticks. Only orders of more than $50 are delivered, but you can carry out or dine in. 252-4933.
For sophisticated Italian dining with a California attitude, try Portofino’s (249 East Main; 253-9300). deSha’s, in Victorian Square, offers an extensive and varied menu including regional specialties in a casual setting. Open daily (259-3771). For burgers and other "bar food," try Sawyer’s Bar and Grill (281-6022) Mon. through Sat. on the first floor of Triangle Center, just across Broadway.
Blue Note: Early Risers? A variety of gourmet coffees and pastries are served at the downtown Starbuck on the corner of Main and Broadway. They open at 6:00 a.m.
Lexington’s beautiful new courthouses (no, you’re not seeing double!) have given new life to North Limestone. A number of small bistros and fine dining establishments have opened along this revitalized downtown corridor. Stylish Annabelle's, at the corner of Short and North Limestone, offers cosmopolitan dining. 381-0900. Or dine at the very, very French, Le Deauville just up the street. 246-0999. At 159 North Limestone St. is an old favorite, a la lucie. A popular “special occasion” restaurant for Lexingtonians, lucie’s features a romantic atmosphere and inventive Continental menu. 252-5277. The next block up, enjoy a taste of the Caribbean at Atomic Cafe, famous for its conch fritters, jerk chicken and sweet potato chips. There’s also live music. Dinner only, Tuesday through Saturday. 254-1969.
About 4/10s of a mile southeast of Lexington Center at South Mill and Maxwell streets is another top Lexington restaurant, Dudley’s. Located in a restored 19th century school building, this cozy elegant spot features seafood and Continental specialties, with an excellent wine list and Sunday brunch. 252-1010.
A special downtown taste treat is found at Hutchinson’s Drug Store in Victorian Square, where you can enjoy milkshakes, sodas, phosphates and sundaes at an authentic old-time soda fountain. Mon. through Sat. 252-3554.

Hey .... Maybe the Dame can be the new Canal St. It would definately hold all of us....come on down!!!!
Why the heck isn't Jeanne coming??
Good Question!
OK...Sawyer's is a burger/chili joint. They say they are set up similar to a fudruckers type place if you are familiar....everything is served plain, you dress it up yourself from a bar.
Entrees range from $6.50-$7.00
Unfortunately they do not have an online or faxable menu currently.
Thoughts?

I'm good with whatever.
If no one else has any thoughts than let's say Sawyer's between 5:30 and 6.
Sawyer's is located across the street and down about a block from the Dame. (Down = left out of the Dame's front door) You can't miss it if you just walk down the road, lots of glass windows.

My restraining order regarding stalking the band is in effect in Kentucky.
I'm not a long-distance driver and nobody offered to come up to Dayton to pick anybody up. (And if it's out of the way, why should they? I certainly wouldn't expect it.) My car is old, I have no cell phone, I have poor night vision, and it's a long drive for a sole person.
Anyway, please give my regards to K & L and tell them I'll see them in April. (I don't think that violates the restraining order.
)I hope I'll see some of you then, as well.
Take some good pictures, kylie; this is your first show with the new camera, right?
Have fun, kids!
Sounds like a plan! I'm there.

Many thanks to Zayne 
for the five minutes of Firefly on my voice mail. I'm betting it sounded a lot better at The Dame.
Never one to dwell on my sorrows, I went to see Buckwheat Zydeco in Huntington last night. Stanley and his fabulous bayou band boogied 'til almost 1:00 and helped me cope with my disappointment about not being in Lexington with y'all (in fact, I never sat down after the first song).
Glad everyone had a good time!
