It was foreordained.
Last night, Jenni and I walked the convention area with Scott Gordon and his often poorly behaved wife Rhonda checking for a place we could invite you to gather with us. We like to have an SBC Voices get together each year.
In the end, the decision was made for us.
We explored the local BBQ establishment known as Saws…you need to go but my living room is bigger. If 15 of us showed up we’d have to shut the doors.
There’s a make your own pizza place called “Your Pie” and we could have called it “Shut Your Pie Hole.” Appropriate for a bloggers gathering, right?
Then we found “The Southern” and our search was over. It is within easy walking distance from the convention hall, prices are reasonable, and I talked to Dr. Mohler. He gave it his blessing.
You can eat with TOTAL abandon, UNCONDITIONAL zest, LIMIT your cost, eat IRRESISTIBLE food, and PERSEVERE to the end of dinner…at the Southern.
Let me offer this invitation to everyone to come. Women need not wear head coverings. Yes, I see that hand.
Please let me know in the comments if you are coming or by email.
I realize there are a lot of conflicts. We will likely be there a long time, solving all the problems of the SBC. Feel free to come by at 5:30, even 6. I imagine we will still be hanging out.
Note: you are responsible for your own check. Anyone not tipping generously will be shot, drawn and quartered, then blogged about.
Saw’s Juke Joint is in Crestline is MUCH bigger.
SAW’s Juke Joint
1115 Dunston Ave
Birmingham, AL 35213
My favorite place… ok, one of my 50 favorite places.
Also, around from Post Office Pies and Cahaba Brewery is a great Venezuelan Restaurant called Luna.
I actually thought about putting together a google map for food and coffee places in Birmingham just for the convention. This is a foodie destination!
They messed up my order and gave me the wrong thing…and I had NO complaints!
My SAW Burger was great.
We will eat at Southern for this meal, though.
I’ll be there
Will bring one with me
My wife and I shall be there.
Hey Dave, isn’t that during the IMB Dinner?
Unfortunately. There is something at EVERY lunch and dinner.
Tuesday evening is usually light.
Most of us will probably hit a restaurant Tuesday as well
Rhonda and I will be there!
I wish I could be there after such a great time last year. Unfortunately I am back and forth between states helping my parents move into a smaller place while selling their house.
We will hold your reservation till next year
“Often poorly behaved wife”?? Rather, let’s talk about a former SBC 2VP and SBC PC’s restaurant manners…throwing peanut shells at lunch today in a busy restaurant.
I try to be a good influence…
