    Fall MeatUp Location And Dates Decided On….Drunken Brawl Narrowly Averted!

    Well, after a lot of back and forth among the Texas MeatUp Executive Committee 🙄 we’ve decided to have our 2022 MeatUp in Blanco, Texas at The Blanco County Inn. OCTOBER 13 - 16 or just Friday the 14th thru Sunday the 16th for some, your choice. We’ll be in the heart of the Texas Hill Country! About 45 minutes from Austin and only 25 minutes from beautiful Wimberly, Texas. The scenery in some these areas is breathtaking, the crystal clear Blanco River runs nearby, with many miles of scenic driving along the river. There’s a ton of neat things [attention ladies] to see and do in Wimberly: antiques, small arts and craft stores, Mom and Pop shops, Cypress Creek Nature Preserve etc. There’s also a couple of top notch BBQ joints in Wimberly, as well as world famous joints in nearby Austin and surrounding areas.

    ABOUT THE BLANCO COUNTY INN

    If you’re going to attend, I strongly suggest you book ASAP, there’s only 15 total rooms on property. As of today, 14 are available, I’ve already booked mine for Thursday thru Sunday…nah nah nah nah nah! October is a prime month for the Hill Country as our temps in Texas are turning cool and there’s lots of visitors booking that month. We’ll have a huge shaded deck in which to congregate for coffee, or cocktails in the evenings This is also a small Mom and Pop place, so I hear they can give us personal attention if needed. I’ve spoke to the owner, Debra, several times and she’s as nice as can be.

    ROOM RATES
    Rates for that weekend are $88.-$179. per night Friday and Saturday. Thursday night rates are $68.-$139. Each of the rooms are different, some with 2 beds and most with one Queen or King size bed. PLEASE NOTE: They do NOT accept American Express. They do accept most others. The rates I mentioned above are if you book them online on THEIR website. You may call in and book, but the rates are $10. per night more. Their website is very easy to use though. Please note also, when you book your room, you’re charged at that time for the full amount of your stay.

    CANCELLATION POLICY [please don’t cancel on us ]
    A full refund is issued to your card if you notify them by email at least 4 DAYS before your arrival day. Their cancellation policy is clearly stated on their website.

    EDIT: ONLY 3 ROOMS LEFT AS OF 5/14/22

    Panhead John. Not sure how you go from Drunken Brawl Narrowly Averted to Texas MeatUp Executive Committee. The first seems to fit better than the slightly pretentious second. Don't mind me I'm just jealous.

      We all just flew in from Stockholm. That’s normally where we hold our high level MeatUp meetings….🙄

      I would have thought Amsterdam would of been a better choice what with the drug laws and red light districts.

    I'm looking forward to the change of venue this go round. I'm still wishing we were closer to Austin but that's what fast cars are made for. I did want to correct Panhead John on one thing. Getting to most of the barbecue joints in Austin is well over an hour, not 45 minutes. That said, the Salt Lick and several other outliers are certainly close by.

    Whoohooo, party in the Hill Country baby !!!!!

      Okay smart guy I just went on Goggle maps and had them calculate the closest place in Austin (an HEB on the edge of town) to Blanco and it was 49 minutes. So theoretically Austin is within 45 minutes but not to any of the top flight bbq joints. To Franklins, for instance, is 1 hour 6 min, la Barbeque is 1 hour 5 min, Leroy & Lewis is 1 hour, etc. etc. Don't mislead the folks or I'll have to come deal with you myself

      Mislead the folks? You kidding me? The only thing I mislead people here about is the quality of my cooks. 😂 Don’t make me smack you with my purse!

        Very cool, let's have a Meat-up African Style (or is that a Braai-up?). I was especially impressed with the dirt golf course

          There’ll be more at this MeatUp I’m sure! Especially if Troutman hogs the covers like he did last time in Rockdale.

              Alright I booked a room. I am already regretting it. Just the thought of spending time in close proximity to... well, you know, is making my left eye twitch. I may drive the bus, but right now I don't have a tow vehicle, so we will see.
