Did I miss anyone? Let me know, I’ll update.

Well, this year is going to be different but a new brand of blog meet, for certain.

We’ve reserved a beautiful private ranch residence in the Texas Hill Country, halfway between Camp Verde and Bandera. There are private sleeping accomodations onsite for six couples or singles. Beyond that, there are couches, lawn furniture, etc, should the ability to drive away disappear. Out of state visitors should try to fly into San Antonio, which is an hour away from Camp Blownstar.

In nearby (15 minutes) Bandera and Kerrville, there are hotels for those that want to stay offsite and possibly get real sleep. I’ll post some phone numbers for them soon. Because there is so much expense in renting the property, we are going to ask for a $100 contribution just to come to the festivities this year (including camping overnight). Those that stay overnight in one of the six private rooms should pay $200 per person, again, to help cover the cost of the facilities. Any money in excess of what we need will be filtered into food & beer funds.

Blodgers never shortchange each other, that’s not what this is about. But planning these things has proved nightmarish when some folks pay in cash and others in barbecue and still others in ways I dare not mention, even on the over exploited internet. We need one currency folks!

In other news, the owner insisted on making us his award winning Texas chili. His wife chimed in that it’s what he does best, so I was impressed. Other than that, food is up for suggestion. What do ya’ll want to do for food this year?

We already sound like we’re pushing maximum capacity on overnighters, so if you are wanting to join us, make it known in these comments or send me an email to chouchope@gmail.com. Our location will not be public. It is a private residence, with a private gate code. Once you send your fundage, I will email you a map. I ask you to please not share it with anyone. If you are bringing a friend, they should pay the $100 in advance as well.

That’s all I can think of for now, so drop you interest/comments/suggestions in the box and we look forward to seeing you July 16th-19th. Thanks for the jpg, Kerrcarto, it’s perfect!

Quick note. This is the fuckity fuck, Pablo. I been buried. My life is often about merging perspective into lives that thrive on denial. It was kind of a depressing line of work back in the day, but this license to insanity of late…well, I’m over it. And I have tried to reason and believe that anything this president does could be positive, but I’m seriously constipated with fear over his Nazi like control and the way the media fondles him as he degrades freedom and personal liberty with each and every move.

I do have Blown Star on the brain. The only weekend available at Toad Hall is Aug 15th. That is the same weekend as my twenty year reunion. I don’t even know if I can go to my twenty, but I hate to go and make it impossible by planting Blown Star in it’s place.

So I know a lot of folks need to know soon, and I hope to have plans in concrete in a week. So check back if you’re interested. And if you have any suggestions/input, drop it in the comments. And especially if you are a newbie, make sure you let your intended attendance be known. We’re all about accommodation at Blown Star.

Happiest Good Friday to All! More than any day on the calendar, this day represents true hope, kindness and life-changing love. I hope all those virtues are especially alive in you today.
