Austin DUers: Get together for GOPisEvil's b-day Saturday (6/17)
Edited on Tue Jun-13-06 06:56 PM by VelmaD
Ok y'all...the illustrious and fabulous GOPisEvil will be turning one year older this coming Saturday - 6/17 - and I figured we need to get together to mark the occasion that evening with libations and possibly cake.

We've got some options. It's kinda far north but he said if we can't find anywhere else we can party at GOPisEvil's house.

But I know a lot of you prefer a more central location. So, if someone wants to volunteer their house for a potluck or knows of a place with "booze and food that's bad for you" (GOPisEvil's own words) that doesn't have live music on Saturday nights...make suggestions. We'll have a location definitely picked by Thursday...so chime in.

6. Freddy's on South Ist, or La Reyna which has cheap booze
Anything with a SOUTH theme because, much as we like GOPisEvil, his presence as a redemptive factor cannot really, sufficiently mitigate the fact that as skittles alluded to..North Austin Sucketh Big!

HAPPY BITHDAY GOPISEVIL!!!!:party:

7. Thanks for the suggestions...
Do you know what kind of food they have at either of those locations? And do they serve real booze...not just beer and wine?

8. La Reyna is Tex mex and Freddy's is great burgers and
'Murican" food like chicken fried steak but they also have excellent veggie burgers and grilled portabella burgers which are DELISH!
Sat night..freddies may have a band though..
Both have real booze and beer and wine..

10. Band plays 6-9- Pamela Ryder this Saturday. Kitchen open 'til 10:30
and the bar closes at 12.. Have not been there on a Sat night to see how busy it gets..usually there for lunch as it is 2 blocks from my office.

*snort*

Just out of curiosity do we have any idea how to get ahold of our Samoan lawyer or Margueritte and William to invite them?

Oh...I emailed Garry to invite him and told him if he had contact info for any of the rest of the usual suspects to invite them too.

30. Not sure now
I just encountered an outside faucet that refuses to shut off completely so I might have to just make my run to SA & come back. :(

Happy Birthday, David! Have a good one!!

Say "hi" to Garry for me!

35. I plan to show up
and finally attending one of your get-togethers after moving into Austin. Heck, its less than a block from where I live. Nothing like being able to drink to excess and be able to walk home. :)

38. Evil, I will try to drop by, but if I can't, HAPPY HAPPY B-DAY, MAY ALL
YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE, etc.!!!

I just found this thread, so slow to respond. My father and niece are coming in from Mississippi tomorrow (Saturday), so I may not be able to break away. I will if I can. Hmm, come to think of it, they might like Guero's... Care to have an old man who had a stroke and sounds and looks like a drunken bum all the time, along with a cute blonde 14 year old who likes to fight with previously-mentioned old man? They are a hoot, and I'm finally old enough to not be embarrased by them!
