too everyone going to KY:
I have a car rental picking up sat am 7. I'll be going to the venue early each day. Don't know yet where I'm staying. Anyone with help on that let me know. Otherwise I'll have a car if anyone needs a taxi service or a DD. I'm an excellent driver.
Use that expensive smart phone of yours smartly and call me  718 389 2843 or 646 250 3144

Anyone else? Let's take pick a Friday meetup spot for dinner. 
Hubbard on Friday flight.

Should we go to a good restaurant Saturday night? Hubbs wanted to arrange that.

I'd say reservations for 8 or 10?

Yes. Although I'd also be happy to substitute "good restaurant" with "class Louisville BBQ" if such a thing exists. 
Couple of places that stand out on yelp-

http://www.yelp.com/biz/proof-on-main-louisville (next to the hotel)
http://www.yelp.com/biz/smoketown-usa-louisville (cab ride)


Smoketown looks good........ yelp photos making me hungry. 

No vegetarians in the group, right? 
Smoketown sounds great.  Anyone want to get together for a Friday dinner across the street?
I'm also flying in Friday but staying with my brother and Portland buddy at the Ramada (closer to venue but not as swank as Galt). Not sure what our plans are but I'll keep in text touch.
cx on NPR

I found the NPR story a better than the WSJ, which made it sound like we're just a bunch of beer drinking, chicken suit-wearing, streakers who like to ride bikes...or from Portland.

Hey-ohhhhh!

P.S. Officially regretting not arranging my work schedule so that I could join y'all at Worlds. Really bumming about it now. Maybe it was the talk of southern BBQ.
CRAP CRAP CRAP BREAKING NEWS
http://www.cxmagazine.com/break-news-elite-world-championship-races-rescheduled-saturday

Due to potential flooding on Sunday, the World Championship schedule has been altered so that all elite races are moved to Saturday. New schedule is as follows:

9:45 AM – 17-18 Junior Elite World Championships

11:00 AM – Female Elite World Championships

12:30 PM – U23 Elite World Championships

2:30 PM – Male Elite World Championships


Well - I was only able to get down there for Sunday - and I figured "hey - Sunday is the big day anyway, lets do it!" - oh well. I'll be there from Saturday at 10pm onwards ready to drink and hear your stories of how epic it was.

so bummed :(

@JoshuaC call in sick and move that plane ticket up. It's worlds!
Or take a page from this guy's book

Maybe this means I'll be sober enough to watch the entire Super Bowl, in which the 49ers will bring the Vince Lombardi trophy home to join the World Series trophy in San Francisco.

1. Congratulations. 2. On the bright side you might be able to turn this in to a future vacation trip where you fly to the next cx world event. 

Josh,

Congrats!

Bank this for later. when you really need it. Of course she could just say, "I converted for you, that is ten to the twohundred power of your sacrifice, now go take out the garbage!" 

Best of luck buddy!

Nah guys - she actually is converting for herself - it was on her todo list when we met :)

Still - I will be banking this one !

^lolololol match made in heaven!

Worlds' Broadcast Schedule

also, regarding Superbowl, here's what my women had to say about it:

 "This is great. I just googled "superbowl 2013" and am pleased to inform you all that the 49ers and Destiny's Children will be performing. I collected all the 49ers pogs back when I was young, so I think I'd like to watch it."
