Meat-Up In Memphis 2021 Canceled

April 6, 2021, 12:53 PM

I have just sent this email to all attendees:

Sadly, we have had a lot of people cancel their reservation for the Meat-Up in Memphis scheduled for August 27-29 this summer. So we asked the Peabody if we can reschedule for 2022 and much to our surprise, before we could settle upon a new date, they sent out an email canceling everybody’s room reservations! Arrrggghhh!

We absolutely WILL have a Meat-Up in Memphis! Hang in there and we will get back to you very soon with the new date, price, refund plans, etc.

There is good news: We now have a free weekend in August. Sigh!

It sucks for everyone who had made plans, but hopefully I will be able to make to the re-re-rescheduled Memphis shindig.

We really wanted to be there, but our youngest is heading to college this August and the timing just wasn't going to work out well. August, 2022 though ....

Sorry you put in all this work Meathead and team. I had not signed up but I am sure those who did are disappointed. Hoping I can make the 2022 roster...

I want to make it to one, too. This one just wasn’t in the cards. I REALLY wanted to go to The Bahamas, we love it there, but I had a scheduling conflict. If everything is calmed down by 2022, I’ll be there.

Sorry to hear this. I was still a hesitant due to Covid, so I did not sign up. Much better chance in 2022.

Quite frankly its not surprising.
Ontario is a chocolate mess of Covid and now the variants are wreaking havoc with the health care system up here.
Can't get vaccines, can't book an appointment for the shots, can't, can't can't.
Ontario just got shut down for another thirty days, and many school boards have dynamited the year.
I fear this will be a revolving door for the foreseeable future.

Bummer that it had to be cancelled again but my wife was warming up to me going and even coming with me this year so maybe next year it’ll be a slam dunk...

Yea the LEGEND of Panhead John should read that he jumped off the roof LEDGE of the Peabody Hotel. Unfortunately that event has also been delayed.

glitchy Some of @Panhead John's photos do quack me up. It would be great if he would just waddle onto the elevator with the rest of the flock and stay on the roof.

Wife and I plan to still go to Memphis in August.
Sorry to hear that so many people were cancelling. We were really looking forward to getting out as we creep out of the Covid-19 isolation containment period!
We'll keep our tickets to Meat in Memphis and join the rescheduled Meat in Memphis group as it comes together in 2022.

We are trying to find a date in March. Sooner the better since all the plans are in place and we have a lot of deposits. Also, temp is in the 70s when it is still cold up north.

Memphis in March would be MUCH more comfortable than in hot, humid August. That said, March is also when we would find ourselves having to travel during all the spring break craziness happening around the country.
