Calling all COTH ers--2ND Annual Rolex Get-together Dinner

[pinkdiamondracing]

It's almost that time again!!!:yes::yes::yes:

Where do we want to meet this year?? Once again, I am willing to take care of the reservations on this end, we just need to decide when and where.

I thought the "after XC" dinner night went well last year, although there were several who would have come had we held it somewhere other than the Chinese restaurant.

I was thinking pizza might be a good one, although the closest pizza place does not serve alcohol. We might have a better turnout at pizza, and I suppose we can go sans alcohol for the event.

[LAZ]

If anyone wants to go this at the campgrounds we could have a get together at my campsite.

[QHEventr]

What about Fat Katz pizza in Georgetown...its not very far up 75...I think the first g'town exit

[DinkDunk]

Ooh - I'll be camping, too! That would work for me...since we're not gonna drive the RV to a restaurant!

[pinkdiamondracing]

So, should we do a potluck @ the campground??

This would give those who are competing a chance to come by and eat before making the ponies ready for the Sunday Morning Jog.

We could have an online sign up sheet for dishes, or maybe go by alphabet (using our COTH screennames of course)-- Screennames A-G bring main dish, H-N bring a side dish, O-U brings a dessert, and V-Z bring an appetitizer???

[tecumsea]

This is something that could work, only thing is if we get the down pour of rain, is there a dry place to hold it?

I'm in for this.

[pinkdiamondracing]

If it rains, there's always the canopy @ The Grill on The Hill, and I think there's one in the campground over by the store, if I am not mistaken.

So, a picnic, then??

Sounds like fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D:D:D:D:D

[LAZ]

There is a covered area right behind one of my friends campsite--and I can bring a pretty big canopy if it looks chancy (though I'd need help before alcohol to set it up). ;)

My campsight is near where CookiePony was last year--east edge, outside loop. I'll look up the # later.

[ddashaq]

Excellent idea!! I missed out last year, but I will there this time.:)

[Tazzie]

Sadly I don't have any plans to attend Rolex this year, or I'd be there meeting everybody.

[SmallHerd]

We could order pizza and have it delivered. Bringing a main dish might be difficult for those of us coming from out of town. But I LOVE the idea of having it at the campgrounds. No muss, no fuss, come as you are. Sounds like a good time!!

[DinkDunk]

I'll be in a big RV in campsite A033...wherever that is. Never stayed there before!

So excited!

[pinkdiamondracing]

OK---- I think a delivered pizza party sounds like an even better idea!!!!!!!!!!!

No cooking for anyone, and no dishes for anyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!:yes::yes::yes:

[LAZ]

I can bring an extra big cooler for beverages....

[SmallHerd]

And I think the Liquor Barn is on everyone's agenda, so beverages are no problem!! We just need to bring paper plates and napkins. Easy peasy!

[tuppysmom]

Boo Hoo

[pinkdiamondracing]

bump

[SmallHerd]

There will be 7 of us. We just need to pick a place and time to meet. Can't wait!!

[pinkdiamondracing]

bump again

[tecumsea]

catered pizza, yup sounds good

[QHEventr]

We might possibly have 3 or 4...

Johanna

[webmistress32]

there is a huge shelter near the parking and camping areas.

it might even have electricity.

myself I'll be at the hotel with my pony club possee drinking pomegranite martinis in the hot tube after XC ;D

[eventingfan]

Count in 2 more

[khp vol]

I don't know how many people plan on showing up, but if there are a lot, you might consider renting the campground pavilion:

The kicker is that if there are more than 25 people, you have to rent a porta-potty.

[vineyridge]

I think I'm in if y'all wouldn't be scared off. I'm an axe murderess, with a mad gleam in my homicidal eyes. :)

[eponacowgirl]

I'll probably come, as well!

[LAZ]

I'll have somewhere between 2 and 6.

I'm willing to host it at my site or go to the pavilion, whatever works.

[DLee]

I will have three visitors, which makes five, hopefully we will stop by, I'll know closer to the day. :yes:

[lucky dog farm]

We are going too. Could we possible stop by??

[Kairoshorses]

Since I'm going to Paris (KY) again this spring to see my brother...and it just HAPPENS to coincide w/ Rolex....!!

I've never made it to the Coth gathering. After all, I have to spend SOME time w/ the man...! But I'm there for a couple extra days, so I may drop by. Will everyone be wearing green or something? Flowers in their hair? Bells on their toes?

[retreadeventer]

Me either - never been to a COTH gathering I mean.
Would love to meet all! However, I wont be staying on grounds, actually at the moment I am searching for a hotel room. Any ideas about which hotels to avoid, and if anyone has a room available they won't be using -- help!

[eyesontheground]

Are total Rolex newbies allowed to come?

If yes, I think it will be me + 4. 2/4 live in town (one even works for KHP) so we can bring supplies if needed. I might have to check in again as we get closer but I think this would be the most fun ever!!!

[asbjockey]

There may be 2 of us stopping by for cocktails.

[vineyridge]

Has it been decided? Will this be after XC in the campground? Is it order out pizza or pot luck? Somehow we have to get some vitamins and green chop.

How about someone (Pinkdiamondracing?) putting together a private message list for details as we get closer to the day?

That way we can each figure out what to bring so we end up with knives and forks and napkins and salad as well as beer and pizza. :)

[LAZ]

My campsites are A066 and A065.

I have plastic ware in my trailer and can get a big bag of salad from Sam's Club if anyone wants salad.

[bigbaytb]

laz..not sure if i can make rolex but if i do, i'll stop by and say hi..maybe stash something tasty in the coche to offer up too

[Holly Jeanne]

I'm a tentative yes so please include me in any plans! I'm waiting to see if I'm working Rolex and exactly when.

[snoopy]

Not sure that I am a definite to go but if I do I am there.

[LAZ]

Will you be in disguise? :D

[snoopy]

Will you be in disguise? :D



No!!!!!!!... I will be the one dressed in white with the long black ears, cute black nose, and yellow bird on my shoulder. Don't tell me you will not recognize me....


5,4,3,2,1, enter lex.....

[CookiePony]

Party at LAZ's campsite, all you fine folks, AND snoopy coming? Maybe I will have to come to Rolex after all this year...

[LexInVA]

Snoopy is hard to miss. Just look for the tall guy with great pectorals, beautiful hair and pearly white teeth, going shirtless and wearing red swim trunks with a black leather jacket and driving around in a black 82 Pontiac Trans-Am with a glowing red light coming from under the hood.

right on time.....

[LexInVA]

right on time.....

You walked right into that one! :lol:

[talkofthetown]

Bensmom and I are planning on going!! :D

[snoopy]

I will say that should I be able to attend that there are quite a few I am really looking forward to meeting.

Ladies, just make sure you look at this (http://www.therandommuse.com/photos/uncategorized/hasselhoff_rules.jpg) before you meet The Snoop, so you don't make fools of yourself.

Oh I love me a Trans Am. :yes::yes: Even if it's not a Bandit.

Bensmom and Talkofthetown?? Woohooo!! Afterparty at my house with Bourbon Slush!

[eyesontheground]

TOTT may be too young for bourbon slush....but I am not!! And I will be there as well!!

[SmallHerd]

Thanks for the pointers Lex! I certainly wouldn't want to make a fool of myself when meeting The Snoopster! :lol:

[tikidoc]

Count me in. This will be my first Rolex. I was supposed to go last year but they canceled my vacation. I asked for this time off a year in advance, they can't make me work!

[olympicdreams04]

So what did we decide? Pizza party? Where? What time? So on and so forth.

[pinkdiamondracing]

Once again, we need to finish details-- after all, it's this week!! I can call Pizza Hut and put in the order, LAZ says we can hold @ campsite-- I will request paper plates from PH, How many pizzas do we need, how do we collect to pay for it, etc?? We are running out of time.

[Holly Jeanne]

I'm planning on joining you but may be a bit late. I'm timing on Saturday afternoon and have to stay around for a while after it's over.

[hunter-eventer-hunter]

Pot Luck, Pizza, and Booze is the only way to go. We are in the campground too. I missed last year, but don't want to miss this year!

h-e-h

[eventingfan]

maybe a head count on here, then figure an estimate of price per head. maybe even set a place to collect the funds before the order is made.

[LAZ]

I'm game to have it at my campsite--I'll bring an extra cooler so if anyone wants to bring beverages in Sat AM they can stick 'em in it.

I have a stack of napkins/plastic ware/bowls in my trailer, and I"ll make a big bowl of tossed salad as well. I"ll bring a couple of my folding tables so we have some place to set stuff.

[SmallHerd]

There will be 4 of us. Can we bring cash for you on Saturday, send you $$ via pay pal now, rr, PDR, I can bring you cash to Keeneland on Friday morning. Let me know what works best for you.

[CookiePony]

I will be at Rolex during the day on Saturday, but alas must return to Nashville after XC to put my mother on a plane the next morning. Y'all have fun!

SmallHerd-- I'd like to give back your DVD-- maybe I could leave it at LAZ's campsite for you?

[zagafi]

I'm in (SmallHerd and I are in the same traveling posse) and I'll have several with me PLUS the ones SH already mentioned.

I'll definitely be making my annual pilgrimage to worship at the Liquor Barn, so I'll bring something yummy and thirst quenching with me.

[SmallHerd]

OMG CP, I totally forgot about the DVD! No worries. If you remember it, great. If not, that's okay too.

[vineyridge]

If it's Pizza Hut or Pizza Inn or Domino's or Poppa John's, they might be able to deliver to the campground. We could wait to put in our orders until after we assemble and start the cocktail hour. :)

Excellent suggestion!

[BuddyRoo]

If I see a ton of pizza delivery trucks I'll know where y'all are at! LOL

I think our group is planning to go to the restaurant attached to our hotel to avoid any more crazy cab rides as in years past. LOL

I'll still have my red back pack w/ "BuddyRoo" sign on though, so if you see me on course, say hello! Enjoy! Going to be a long day Saturday. Good fun!

[LAZ]

I can leave a white board up on Saturday so people could check off what they want.

[jumpsnake]

I'll be there but also will be busy after xc for a little while....please add me to the pm list though.

[olympicdreams04]

Hey guys. I think the white board might be a little overkill. First we need a head count. Say 30 of us. @ 2-3 slices a piece, that would be say 8-10 medium pizzas. How about we get 3 cheese, 3 pepperoni, ! meat lovers, 1 veggie, and 1 hawaiian? Seems medium pizzas go for about $5 these days, so we're looking @ less than $75 total, even if we order more than 10 and factor in the tax. I think the easiest way to go about all this would be for someone to pony up the money up front and collect from COTHers @ the gathering. If absolutely necessary, I might be willing to place the order, pay for the order, and maybe even pick up the pizzas, though it may just be easier to have them delivered. There is a Pizza Hut 3 mi from the Horse Park. How does this sound to everyone?

Olymipcdreams04 and I were discussing this yesterday on our way to go gallop in the rain last night, and we think this is the best plan, much less complicated than a bunch of individual orders-- besides, having been the manager of a pizza place in my younger days, I can tell you that unless you call ahead with an order this large, they sometimes don't have enough dough rolled for crusts, which really ticks them off.
So if everyone agrees and promises to pay their share, I think this is the best way to go. We only have a couple more days to decide though, so we better hop to it.

[SmallHerd]

I think that sounds great! Now we just need to know how to find the site.

[zagafi]

Who is taking the headcount? I think that would be best in one spot so no one has to search through this thread hoping it's accurate!

[LAZ]

I'm in A066, it's on the Northeast end, inside of outer loop, I have a '95 blue striped quad cab Ford dually & a White Merhow horse trailer. My friends in the next campsite are tenting.

[SmallHerd]

What time?

[pinkdiamondracing]

After XC
