Party Report, filed by Jdarg
What a great afternoon/evening! Amore is one of our family's favorite places in SoWal, not only because of the wonderful pizzas, but because of Amory and Olive. We were thrilled to be able to celebrate their 3rd year in business!
Kickball was still going on when we arrived. Somebody that actually played will need to give more details. It did look like fun, and there were lots of pictures taken and even a video made. Will was asked to play and he was beside himself with joy. I am not aware of any injuries, brawls, or over the top trash talking.
The lovely, radiant Olive (with a really cute baby bump) was perched on a stool by the steps, collecting money and handing out VIP cards. Instead of a wristband or hand stamp, she drew little green olives on everyone's hand!
Upstairs, Green Hit was playng (Skunky's fave- he was groovin'). Skunk and Punz had grabbed 2 tables by the stairs- perfect to say hi to everybody we knew (and didn't know) as they came up the stairs.Saw BB and Lisa-at-the-beach right away, but BB had to leave early for her drive back.
Great keg beer- "Hazed and Confused" (high octane) and Yuengling (sp?). Futurebeachbum- you would have been in heaven with that Yuengling keg- you need to get one for your house in October. A pizza after pizza coming from the kitchen through the pizza window. I wonder how many pizzas were made last night?
Dread and friends played later- half Dread/half friends. Great to watch and listen, and of course the little ones were dancing, especially Beachmom's littlest dancing queen and Rowan, wearing his "I do my own stunts" t-shirt.Reed Waddle was a wonderful guest singer.
Lots of SoWallers and other great locals in attendance.There were several drawings for Amore gift certificates, and Kate "drew" the first 2 numbers, then Olive ended up having to call out a combo of numbers picked by little IBD and Beachmom's son. When nobody claimed any of those numbers, she had to start randomly shouting out numbers- and I won a gift certificate!
As we left, there were still lots of smiling faces and dancing going on! Thanks Am and Olive for all the good pizza, hospitality, and fun times. We look forward to many more years....
Sounds like the only thing missing was us!
I wish we had been there. However, we will be there many times during October. One of our favorite places. I can't wait to see the baby bump! The last time we saw Olive and Am in May they were "taking the baby" to the beach. It sounds like you all had a blast. We'll see you all soon.
