As mentioned here a few months ago, we’re having our Fall Texas MeatUp soon! It will take place in Rockdale, Tex. in just a few more weeks, October 22-24. We’ll be staying at The Rainbow Courts there in Rockdale. They are SOLD OUT of rooms at The Rainbow for that weekend. Myself, Captain Mike, ecowper and 58limited will be arriving Thursday and staying thru Sunday, if anyone wants to arrive before Friday. If you haven’t made reservations but would like to attend, there are several other hotels in the area you can try.
We have confirmed with Brett’s Backyard BBQ that he can cater our dinner Friday night. If you haven’t eaten there before, it is some of the best BBQ in the state! In order to make this as easy as possible for all involved, we are proposing the following and hope everyone is ok with it. As of now, we have 17 people attending, including spouses. I thought we’d order the big 3 of meats for everyone, brisket, ribs and sausage. All excellent! Their Pico de Gallo sausage is worth fighting over. In fact, back in June Troutman tried to steal a piece off my plate and I had to stab him with my plastic fork. 🙄 Their sides are all homemade and some of the best you’ll find. We thought we’d have 3 or 4 different sides delivered to us, along with the meat, and let people just take what they want. I’ll guarantee you will like em.
After everyone has confirmed and we have final head count, Troutman will be calling Brett for a price to cater us. One of us, and I can volunteer, can pay for it when needed. The rest of the group can reimburse me or whoever, for their share of the cost. I hope this meets everyone’s approval, but if you have any reservations about this arrangement, please let us know.
Just like last time, we’ll have a Happy Hour from 5-7 before dinner Friday, to get acquainted with each other and renew past friendships. I was thinking Brett’s can deliver to us around 6:30 to 7 pm. There will be tables set up for dinner, some inside my room and others outside. For anyone not flying in, it’s asked if you can, bring some lawn chairs to sit in, and if possible, maybe bring a few extras for those flying in. I’ll bring some extras myself.
Here is the list of people we know of who made reservations and said they will be attending. Please confirm you’ll be attending and the number in your party. There’s several top notch BBQ places for us to choose from for Saturday. All within easy driving distance, 45 minutes or less. And Snow’s is only 15 minutes away. Thanks guys!
EDIT TO THE PLANS - We’ll be eating in the restaurant around 7:00 and not have it catered. Happy Hour is still 5-7 at the Rainbow. They close at 5pm but will be open for our private dinner.
