I may or may not go to Arlington Chess Club tonight and try to play a game. It depends on if anything else is going on.

Yeah looking Qb6 does look good in my Black game. But I'm a n00b so it's all good. And also in that game I may not be losing in the final position per se, but when it's G/30 and I have like 5 seconds left with no time delay I am losing.
And in the game when I was white (If you think hard you can probably figure out who black was... he goes to our club, and is 1900) I was told afterwards that Ba3 is the main line. But I don't think what I did was necessarily bad, Fritz had it in it's book... for better or worse.
Been doing some analysis of the KID game; I'll post it once I blundercheck with Fritz. There seems to be a funny moment around move 18-21 where both sides trade blunders repeatedly, possibly due to time issues. (Although 18 c4-c5 isn't nearly as bad as it looks).

Here's a pass through the KID game, mostly just focusing on the moves I question:
11 a4 and 12 Ba3 seem to me a bit shortsighted and slow, I would have played Nd2 immediately, following up with Be3, f3, and c4-c5. Adding in a4 beforehand allows Black to get ...f5 in time to prevent the plan with f3, Be3, and on f5-f4, Be3-f2.
I think fxe4 is fine. Black want to play e5-e4, freeing his position.
I view 15 Rb1? as the point at which white starts to go seriously wrong. a4 is further weakened, but the coming pin is a problem. Maybe just 15 Bb4 Ra8 16 c5.
18 c5 is a bit less solid, since black is so well developed. 18...Nxd5 isn't so bad, but in my view the more solid ...Rxa4, (Fritz's choice, about half a pawn for black) or ...Bxe4 19 Bxe4 Nc8 (the line I liked, since it seems to remove white's positional threats and prepares ...Rxa4. Fritz thinks this is a draw, though (a line with Qg4-e6+).
White can play immediately 19 Bc4 after ...Nxd5.
After 18 c5 Nxd5 19 cxd6, I found the really pretty try ...b5!?, and the more obvious ...Nf4.
During that part of the game I think both sides missed several opportunities.
After the trades, the QRRB + 4 vs. QRRB + 3 ending might be drawable; perhaps trading bishops and playing h4-h5 is a plan. I agree keeping queens would be good for White, objectively speaking. It will be hard for black to avoid checks.
