ROTDC and Birthday Bash

When one of Austin’s coolest Unilocalers celebrates a birthday and gets ROTD within 24 hours of one another, ’tis cause for celebration.
And celebrate we did. The way Unilocalers do it best — by camping out on one of Austin’s nicest patios, engaging in a veritable smörgåsbord of fantastic eats, and taking turns telling stories that had never been told before (at least, not amongst present company).
Sometimes, the impromptu occasions are the best; this one was no exception. Happy Birthday and ROTD, Kimberly K!

So what do you get when you combine a ROTD, 11 Unilocalers, and conversation? You get non-​stop laughter about a Secret Diary of a masked defendant w/​bunny stockings in a deposition who’s hooker got shot w/​a bb gun from 4 stories up resulting in her hitting a homeless guy who just finished puking from his Clevland road trip after he road his first rollercoaster at the age of 20 and then being called a wussie by a kid who’s asking himself, «Will this summer ever end?» because his parents found a playboy in the sock drawer.
All hail the Unilocal Gods for Kimberly’s ROTD on her birthday, resulting in a night of priceless moments and juicy stories.

What do you get when you cross a bunch of hungry Unilocalers and a good restaurant with good service?
An awesome ROTDC and birthday bash!
I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time.
Food was awesome. Service was fantastic. Laughter and jokes were abundant.
It was fun to meet some new people – okay, person – and great to catch up with people I hadn’t seen in awhile. Really fun to see people outside of a bar situation, where we don’t have to yell at each other to carry on a conversation.

I was late to the party, but I didn’t feel ‘late to the party,’ if you know what I mean.
I’m sure you *could* have a bad time at an unofficial Unilocal event attended by this caliber of people, but you’d have to work at it.
What an awesome group to spend a few hours laughing and eating with!
Mars was the perfect spot (I’ve updated my review accordingly), an ROTDC-​birthday was the perfect occasion (with a free dessert shared by all thanks to our outgoing birthday lady!).
As for the unforgettable stories told on this night, secrecy is paramount, but here are my one-​word summaries:
Kimberly: Intense
Ryan: Playa
Ardie: Unfortunate
Michelle: Classy
Chris: Cute
Debbie: Wild
Carla: Thrilling!
Jessica: (:
Quani: Great
Ruben: gross
Me: GROSS
Didn’t come? You missed out.

This was an awesome event.
Meeting Unilocalers in non-​virtual form and having a fantastic meal on an almost-​too-​cool evening outdoors under a large live oak – this is Austin!
As Ryan said, there were stories. And then some. We’re all sworn to secrecy, of course!
All I know is we need more ROTDC parties with Kimberly K there. So, everyone, get to writing those reviews!

I love coming into an event not ever physically meeting ½ the attendees and it feeling like family within the first 10 – 15 minutes of the gathering.
I got to finally meet Kimberly, Ardie, Quani, Ruben, and Chris. I got to see Jaime, Debbie, Michelle, Ryan, and Jess again (okay I’ve seen Jess 3 out of the last three days, but you just cannot get enough Jess).
Anyway, it was an awesome gathering at my favorite restaurant.
So glad I went and that everyone else did too. Cannot wait to celebrate Kimberly’s b-​day/​ROTD next year ;-)
