South of Beale<\/a> had their 1st birthday party a week ago Saturday, with complimentary appetizers from 4-6, $1 Ghost River Golden until the keg ran out, and $2 birthday shots all night.\u00a0 I got there right after 4, and found the gang at the corner table.\u00a0 “We saved you a seat,” they said.<\/p>\n

Not long after, the complimentary appetizers began to come out.\u00a0 They started serving in the back of the room, which made sense, since it’s nearest the kitchen.\u00a0 Right around that time, the Nuh-Uh Girl came in.\u00a0 She saw all her friends seated near the front door.\u00a0 Then she saw the appetizers being served in the back of the room, and she made a beeline back there where she found some people to sit with.<\/p>\n

A few minutes later, Brittany made it to the front of the room, where we were seated, with an appetizer tray.<\/p>\n

<\/a> $\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

All of the sudden, the Nuh-Uh Girl appeared at our table and reached for an appetizer.\u00a0 It happened so fast, I didn’t have time to focus the camera.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

I did get the camera focused for the next appetizer, though.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

With everyone served, Brittany started to walk away from our table, to serve the others in the restaurant.\u00a0 The Nuh-Uh Girl decided she had some very important things to talk to Brittany about, and followed after her, of course reaching for more appetizers as they talked.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

Thanks to SOB for a great party.\u00a0 The chips and dip, hummus, and shrimp on grit fries were all delicious.\u00a0 Apologies for taking a week and a half to blog about it – sometimes things get stuck in Drafts and I forget they’re there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
