Maybe next year.
Daughter's wedding is in June, so I will be busy. Also need the money.

[Panhead John]

58limited has graciously decided to pay the way for anyone wanting to attend but may be short of funds!

[58limited]

I'll be happy to pay, I have Panhead John 's debit card.

[Duanessmokedmeats]

Panhead John 58limited Can he use your debit card to pay for the wedding?
Then I can go.

[Panhead John]

If you’re going to attend the MeatUp, in addition to PM ing David, please post it here also or on the MeatUp thread. Thank you, carry on.

[Mosca]

58limited You can put me in the attending part, it’s just a matter of shuffling stuff. We have to make it another couple weeks yet. Mary Joan already asked me when I was going, so that’s not an issue.

[Panhead John]

Woo hoo! Glad you can make it Tom!

[jayjordan]

Wife working on getting off Thursday and Friday. Should know tomorrow evening.

[WI Bubba]

Room is booked, and vacation time is put in for. Just have to wait on Lisa to make up her mind before I book the flight(s). I'll be there for sure.

For the folks in SE Wisconsin/ NE Illinois, Southwest out of MKE has pretty reasonable flights with good flight times. Also non-stop which is a plus.

For us folks North of 33, Delta will take you out of Appleton, but you have to connect through Minneapolis, and the times are not as good. But you don't have to go to Milwaukee... So that's a plus.

Edit: Lisa is confirmed too.

[jayjordan]

Room booked, wife and I will be there. Arriving Thursday afternoon, depart Sunday.

[klflowers]

I just might be able to swing this one. Our Boys Night Out weekend is the 9th through the 12th, and if we have it in New Orleans it will work out great. I am planning on being on the RV, so I won't be in the hotel, but I'll try and find a RV park the is close. I should know for sure next week.

[Panhead John]

I can check with the hotel and see if they know of a good one close by.

[klflowers]

Panhead John I’ll call them and check. I started looking around earlier and found 2 that look good and are right down the street from the hotel. Our boys night is between Miami and New Orleans; if it ends up being Miami I won’t be able to make it.

[SheilaAnn]

I’m locked and loaded. Anyone arriving around 11:45 at AUS on Thursday?

[Alan Brice]

Still no ticks. Will let you know.

[Alan Brice]

We are American. Arriving 11:48am Austin

[Mosca]

Looks like Alan Brice has you covered!

[Sid P]

I’m in! Wednesday noon through sometime Sunday.

[58limited]

Awesome!

[Panhead John]

Cool beans Sid! Now that klflowers ain’t comin’ we oughtta have a good time! 🥸

[klflowers]

Panhead John you were just worried that I would take your woman. So what if she's blow up...

[Flyman51]

From the way back machine , Dickinson Texas, 1975 ish... was gonna name my first album " Waiting on the Holy Ghost".
talk about options at a bbq stop! Fill ur stomach, save your soul.
solid ribs if I recall
Did a marinated Bavette at 15 degrees on my Hasty Bake up here in Minnesota. Wonderful!

[LA Pork Butt]

We are booked Thursday through Sunday. Oops! We leave Sunday.

[Purc]

Alright!

[Panhead John]

Woo hoo!

[Mosca]

I got my flight. By juggling dates, I was able to fit it inside my AA miles… by juggling, that means I have to arrive on Wednesday and leave on Monday, arriving in SAT and leaving from AUS. So it will cost me $139 x2, but it will save me about $700 in air fare. And that will allow me to try to get to Burnt Bean’s Sunday thing. Or hunt around Aus or Sat for tacos, either one.

Edit: Room is now set.

Edit: Car rental set. I like to have the freedom to go where I want to go.

[Mosca]

I’m figuring paralysis of choice. As far as the bbq, I know what to expect; I’m going to the Meatup to have fun with y’all. The q comes second.

[Purc]

Great way to look at flight costs. Using Uber, I've done the same thing with DFW and Love Field when flying to ATL.

[Mosca]

Purc And I like to arrive a day early anyhow. I’m not happy about leaving early Monday, but it’s fine.

[Mosca]

Panhead John is the hotel rate $139, or $149? The guy I talked to said that he had to put it in at the standard rate, but that his convention manager would go in and change it to the group rate. Right now I’m paying $149, and haven’t received a new email with a lower rate.

I just don’t want to seem like an idiot when I call to ask for it to be corrected. (I have no problem actually being an idiot, as long as no one knows.)

[Alan Brice]

There is a link for AR, I want to say it shows $139.00 but then there is tax and Kim n i got Ins at $25 ?????? wanna say $450 for Thur-Lv Sun. Kim has the final number. I will relate that here when I get it.
Cannot wait to meet ya Mosca!

[Panhead John]

It’s $139. I was told that the front desk people would be able to give us the special rate without having to speak to Amanda, the group sales lady. I’m sure she’ll give you the special rate, she might just be busy right now. If it doesn’t show up by tomorrow let me know! I’ll give her a call and get it straightened out for you. Luckily no one is charged until you check out.

[Mosca]

It’s okay, I can wait.

[Alan Brice]

Book Em Danno!
Arriving in Austin American 11:48

[SheilaAnn]

Ok cool! I’ll share my flight in PM.
