    2. I'm sorry for just seeing this! Things have been...less than good...and I haven't been keeping up with doll stuff as much as I'd like. I won't go into details here, but things are currently kind of chaotic and unpredictable, though I would very much like to see everybody if I possibly could! If you guys do plan a meet, I'd do my best to be there.

      Since our last meet, my Iplehouse Lahela and Supia Naomi have arrived, as well as a doll I wanted for ages but just got the opportunity to get: 5Star Doll Jadeite! And my IslandDoll An An is complete, other than her permanent eyes--the head was a gift with a different doll, but her body is here now.

    3. I so want to see your Lahela and Naomi! My July has gotten complicated since I put this up-my mom's caregiver is on vacation the week of the 4th, so I'll be down in NC taking care of her, and then I have an SCA event the following weekend. August is clear, I don't have any SCA events until the first weekend in September, so if we'd like to meet the latter part of July or August, I'm good.

    4. Last week of July is kind of busy for me, August would probably be better, really. And it might not be as hot? I know I'll be having a lot of planning around appointments coming up, but that shouldn't affect Sundays for now, I don't think.
       
    5. I'm good with August. Might actually have one or both of my new bodies by then.
       
    6. Hey! I'm actually less than an hour from Frankfort, moved to the area a couple years ago! I've gotten back into the BJD hobby recently and would love to attend a meet up, I had no idea there was a community out here! I love Chinese food!

    7. Hi and welcome! We do have a local group but we're kind of spread out all around Kentucky, with most of our meets being Lexington, Louisville, Elizabethtown and Frankfort. We've been having meets for well over a decade (maybe two decades? I've been going for about 15 years :D ), though the group does shift and change as people come and go in the hobby. We're always welcoming new people!

    8. Yep, we've been going a while. :3nodding: Welcome!

      I'm open in August afaik.​

    9. Thanks everyone! I'm good whenever in August! I can request whichever date we choose off as long as it's a month or so in advance, so no rush on my end!
       
    10. Welcome, Mei Flowers! Do we want to do a restaurant or someplace else? Anyone have any ideas?
       
    11. Whatever we do, I'd definitely prefer it be indoors. I don't handle the heat very well. If we're doing August, the weekend of the 10-11 is not going to work for me, but I think everything else is currently open.

    12. Oh definitely indoors! I'm not up for anything else until the fall.
       
    13. Thirded!
       
    14. Same, I can't do this heat. It's been killing me. So a meetup inside would be perfect! The only time that won't work for me is the last weekend in August. (I had to put one of my babies to sleep today, so this month has been pretty bad -__-)

    15. @Tokimimotaku I am so sorry to hear about your loss. That is never, ever easy.

      So if I'm reading the calendar right, and we're wanting to do Sundays, we've got the 4th, the 18th and the 25th that work for people?
       
    16. Hi! I'm about to move to Kentucky for college! I just got into bjds and am super excited to get my first dolls! I hope, after I move in and get my dolls to meet up with you guys!

    17. Hi and welcome! I look forward to you joining us!
       
    18. Hi GingerBreadCat! Looking forward to meeting you and your dolls!
       
    19. I figure I'll head over to Frankfort and see if there's a restaurant we can meet at, if that suits everyone. I think the one we used to go to is closed, but I'll see what's available. Or I can see if that big buffet on the North side of Lexington is still there, if folks liked that. I know they enjoyed our dolls.

    20. @Tokimimotaku Does the 18th work better for you than the 25th?
       
    21. Technically, either works. The weekend I wouldn't be able to do is August 30-1 (will be at a convention)

    22. Did we ever come to a decision on a date? Or we waiting till September?
       
    23. I was thinking August 25 at a Chinese restaurant initially, but if that doesn't work for people we can talk September. I can't do the weekend of the 7th, but I'm good for the rest of the month.
       
    24. Folks, my mom died early this morning, so if it's all right with you, I'd like to look at September for the meet up.

    25. So sorry for your loss....

      September seems best since no one else has said anything recently. Might all be busy.

    26. Oh, no! I'm so sorry. :(

    27. OK, folks, Elfkin and I went to the China Buffet in Frankfort today and they were cool with us reserving their meeting room, but they need a date. So, as far as September goes, I can't do the weekend of the 7th, SCA event, but I'm fine the rest of the month. What's good for everyone else?

      The location is: China Buffet 1300 US 127 South, Frankfort, KY 40601 We've done a meet there before, a long time ago. It's the one with the huge koi pond inside.
       
    28. I'm pretty late to a July meet up, but I'm also in Kentucky! Are you all planning to meet again soon? Any weekend date would work for me as long as I have a good heads-up. Frankfort is a pretty long drive for me

    29. I'm good as long as it's a Sunday. XD

    31. We're definitely doing Sunday, it just seems better for most people. Hope you can make it, Hygzy!
      So it looks like our choices are September 15, 22 and 29. What does/doesn't work for folks?
       
    32. Would have to be the 15th or 29th for me.

    33. For some reason, I haven't been getting updates to this thread even though I did subscribe to it! And I've had so much (not fun) stuff going on lately, I didn't think to check. I'm so sorry!

      Currently, my schedule is still pretty up in the air, so I'm not sure I can commit to anything, but if you guys want to pick a date, I'll make it if I can, and if I can't, then I hope everyone has fun!

      @Isabeau I am so sorry for your loss.:(

    34. I'd be good for very end of September.
       
    35. I'm good with the 29th, and if people want to wait until October, I'm good with that too, except for October 27. Just let me know so I can get the room.

    36. Well, that's three good for the 29th, @Isabeau , so let's go with that? Then other folks can figure out plans?
       
    37. Sounds like a plan! I'll see if I can get the room. If not, there's still plenty of room at the restaurant.
