Just letting you Thai food lovers know that last year we found a Thai food place pretty close to the venue (we could walk there).  Can't remember the exact place but it was fantastic.  Be warned tho - it's a pretty upscale place.  It was funny to walk in there - a handful of us in black metal tshirts - to see everyone else totally dressed up.  Apparently it is a well-known place because they have a wall of pictures of celebrities that have taken a picture there with the owner.
