Any Louisville, KY TF fans?

I just got a year-long Industrial Design Internship at GE (WOOT!!), and I don't really know anybody in KY (I live in Michigan), I'm going down there in early July and was wondering if anybody here wants to get in touch and make a fellow TF fan feel welcome?

Any tips on good comic/toy/anime shops to visit as well? Anything is appreciated

Welcome to Louisville when you get here...LOL

Yep, I have lived here my whole life and it is not so bad.

Comic book shops:

Comic Book World on Old Shepherdsville Road...The best shop IMHO...

Great Escape on Bardstown Road (If you are into Pubs and Microbrews this is also the area to be..they call this area the Highlands..

Let me know when you get to town...

Thanks appreciate the hospitality!

Lookin' forward to good times down in KY!

Oh Yeah, another thing...Since you will be working at GE...Comic Book World is actually directly down the street form the plant....

Turns out I'll be planning to move to Louisville (is it pronounced "Loo-a-vul"?) on the 26th of this month or so, yeah I'm PUMPED!!

Welcome to the area when you arrive. There's a fair few of us located here.

There was actually a KY get-together a few months ago that several of us attended. I don't know if anyone came farther than I did (TN) or not. I know Sidecutter, Megamus, TaterX, and like 6-7 other board names that escape me at the moment because I suck with names were there as well.

So, yes, you are around TF fans

I'm a TF fan myself between Louisville and Bowling Green. Theres a comicshop in Radcliff, just outside Lville called the ComicVault. The guy there cuts a pretty sweet deal on discounts for prepulled comics, been getting all the IDW stuff there.
Wish I had known about the great KY Transfanfest. I'd made the trip.

Wow, thanks for the hospitality guys! Maybe we could have another unofficial get-together soon? Whaddya say? I'd love to meet some more fellow transfans. As of now, I only personally know Maximus Prime (Avatar guy) and fastbalspecial.

There's talk of something like that happening. Not sure if any idle ponderings about gathering to see the movie will actually end up going down or not. But it was definitely something we will do again.
