We don't want to overextend your parent's hospitality. I think dinner elsewhere is best. Plus you know these guys can get rowdy after a couple of cold ones

Also, I may be +1/+2 for parts of Saturday, as my cousin's son is a freshman at UK and I've invited him to join us either for the breakfast/horse farm, or for TMB's parents' gathering, depending on his schedule.

Looks like Friday is sold out for cash or points at the Party Hotel. Sat. night still available. Maybe you could arrange to bunk with somebody.
If you have a Fri. reservation and are going to cancel, please let us know here and maybe it can be assigned to one of us.
Have not checked Fairfield down the street. There's a Knights Inn directly across. Also Griffin Gate, the best Marriott property in the area, is only a few blocks away. And a Clarion and an Embassy Suites nearby and probably others.

Please keep the room reserved as long as you can, as Friday is sold out. Almost surely someone can use it. Assume you can call hotel to add people to reservation, or switch the names?

I flew out of LEX yesterday and discovered that they have free wi-fi!
The guys who make KY Bourbon Barrel Ale sponsor a restaurant/pub there and you can get their products on draft. Not the best bourbon-barrel-aged beer around, but decent and a good introduction for lots of folks.
