Texas MeatUp - Spring Edition Dates Set For April…Yippy Ki Yay!

[Loren]

Count me in despite the arduous 35 miles of highway I have to drive

[Panhead John]

Loren Damn man, you again?

[Panhead John]

Loren Are you gonna stay at the Rainbow or just come for the get togethers?

[Loren]

Probably just show up for the get togethers.

Though a room for Friday night may just happen...

[Panhead John]

Here’s a link to The Attendance Roster.

[Soonerpop]

In. Room booked. Coming Thursday.
I spoke to Joan, the owner. Snagged The Bob Wills Room, couldn’t NOT get it. So, I’ll be the one in the Cain’s Ballroom tee shirt, wearing y’all’s ass out with Bob and Tommy, Asleep at the Wheel, and The Time Jumpers. Can’t wait.
P.S. After speaking to me, Joan felt that I was just what the group needed, that I would lend class, charm, and a quiet dignity to the gathering.
P.P.S. I saw the hateful, hurtful comment you made in another post. You know who you are. I’ll put it this way—my plates come with me.

[Panhead John]

"Class, charm and a quiet dignity"? That’s what I’m there for.

[58limited]

Soonerpop Will you be by yourself or have a companion?

[Soonerpop]

Not born here, but have lived most of my adult life here. And besides, Bob had most of his success in Oklahoma and California, so it all kind of melts together. And my offerings can include about anything any of those groups have ever recorded. Aaa-haaa

And if you pick up any of the traits or just mention my name to your probation officer, you just might be able to ditch that ankle monitor early. I’m betting on you.

+1 Probably my wife, but maybe my son.

See y’all down the road in April.

[Mr. Bones]

Rilly workin hard on gittin there,y'all....
Apparently, I has a room waitin...

[MBMorgan]

Sure hope to see you there, amigo!

[Panhead John]

Mr. Bones……👍

[Soonerpop]

That would be great! Come ahead on!

[wcpreston]

I don't think I'll be going this year, guys... Maybe if it was a bit closer to Austin. I was way to disappointed w/Snows to make that trek again.

[Mr. Bones]

McRibs might be back on Limited Time, by April...

Be Great to have ya there, if ya can make it!

I'm hopin we'uns can, from up way yonder, hereabouts...

[Mr. Bones]

Son seems totally amenable, an we both desparately need a break from here, long overdue, even afore these troubled times...

Question: Ain't nobody gonna git mad at me, rough me up none, if'n I brangs me a guitfiddle, or two, right?

[MBMorgan]

Damn, Bonesy … you just brightened my day considerably! Won’t anybody be getting mad at you or your guitar … although you might get roughed up just a little what with all the hand shakin’ and all.

[Panhead John]

Mr. Bones I’ll have you know that I’m the only one who can call Jim White Jimbo. That’s my special pet name for him.

[Soonerpop]

Since I’m in the Bob Wills room, can you do some Eldon Shamblin style with my recorded music? He was great, with Bob since the ‘30’s.

[Mr. Bones]

Jus was lookin, Barksdale is ~ roughly only 2.5 from where I call home, but it makes me havedta think times...

I don't drink when I drive, especial Innerstate, through other Territories, an such...

Don't want my Son to be stuck th whole time, as Designated Driver, neither...even though he don't drank, none...

Jus might have to either drive me a good patch, an then let him, or reverse, or gummies...

[Mr. Bones]

We plan on arrivin sometime Thursday, y'all...

[Troutman]

Can't wait Bonzey, been wayyyyyyy too long brother !!

[Mr. Bones]

Well sheeit, done deal! Gonna hug a fellow Bone-man, it'll be worth the drive.

CaptainMike You drivin alla th way from Jefferson???

Lookin forward to me a Big Ol Hug, from' Th Hambone', Brother!

[CaptainMike]

That I am, Bones! My LSG pellet pooper will hopefully be ready for pick up around that time. Plus, I'm going to tool around the south a bit to sight see and visit various friends thereabouts. I will probably have my 5 month old heeler pup with me so it'll be a boy and is dog kind of a thing. Well, without all of the crazy stuff of the book/movie.

[Spinaker]

Gonna be in Austin this weekend to do some recon.

[Troutman]

Be sure to try and check out Interstellar, Texas Monthly #2 pick for Top 50. I plan to go in April for sure.

[Spinaker]

Yep, that one is on the list. The pork ribs are supposed to be.....shall I say......steller! Troutman

[Soonerpop]

I wish you wouldn’t, but you probably will.

[Troutman]

Here are 10 barbecue joints within a one to one and a half hour drive time from Rockdale. All ten are on the current Texas Monthly Top 50 barbecue joints listing including #2, 5, 7, and 9. I thought I'd publish this so you can pre-plan where you might want to go during the Meat-Up. Personally I'll be camped out in South Austin with a side trip to Intersellar's !!

If you can't find excellent Texas BBQ in this area then you might want to check your pulse, you're probably dead

[Troutman]

Spinaker We expect a full report

[CaptainMike]

Yeah, and pictures!

[Spinaker]

I will make sure to do both. CaptainMike Troutman

[Mr. Bones]

Unless we can come up with a solution, it's lookin ominously like my Son an me won't be able to attend, due to pet care needs...

[Mr. Bones]

Due to a Conundrum, not too terribly sure we will be able to attend.

Seems Like Jesse has a dog, an I have a cat, neither of which is allowed at Rockdale...

I totally unnerstand their position, an respeck their choice...Peace

[Panhead John]

58limited Good idea, hey Bonesy, you open to that?

[Jim White]

I haz a sad.

[Soonerpop]

As, man, sorry to hear that. There’s a little time, so let’s hope it works out…some how.

[CaptainMike]

I might as well chime in too. Seems the wife's niece's wedding that was planned for August has now been moved up to April so I'm afraid I have to cancel/postpone this go around. I've heard the womenfolk talking about having to let her wedding gown out a little, whatever the hell that means.....

I plan on attending in the Fall if it's all a go.

[Jim White]

Now I haz two sads.

[CaptainMike]

I'm sorry too, Jim. This was/is going to be a great meat up.

[Soonerpop]

Another Aw, man. Sorry to hear it, hope you can make it next time.

[MBMorgan]

Uh oh. Mr. Bones CaptainMike you’re putting my travel plans at risk.

[CaptainMike]

Sorry, brother, I have to ensure domestic tranquility.

[MBMorgan]

CaptainMike - Trust me. I fully understand. I’ve spent the past few weeks ensuring the same here.

[Jim White]

Looks like I won't be able to make it to the Meat Up after all. It definitely stays on my bucket list, I just won't make this one.

The good news is that I just canceled the Executive King #31 at Rainbow Courts so if anyone wants it for the Meat Up, call them tonight!

Hope everyone going has a really good time.

[58limited]

Sorry you can't make it. Maybe the next MeatUp in the fall.

[CaptainMike]

Yes, Jim, plan for the Fall. Collette and I will definitely be there

[LA Pork Butt]

I hope to see you in the fall!
