The Terrace (:
Oh the Memorial Union Terrace, how I miss you... This is the best place in Madison to hang out during the summer, and I cannot wait til school is out... that's when everyone is gone, and it's much more enjoyable. On Monday nights, they put up a screen outside, and people sit around and watch a movie, while drinking some pitchers. We would go every Monday last year, arriving early to get a good seat, bringing along games to play. We played some scrabble and monopoly, and I hope we can continue the tradition this year :) Not only were the games fun, but they also introduced us to new fun movies - I got to see 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit,' 'Jaws,' the original 'Psycho,' and 'WET HOT AMERICAN SUMMER' which is a fantastic movie!!! We had no idea what it was about, but it was HILARIOUS! Slightly raunchy, but fun nonetheless. It's definitely a fun summer movie (set at a summer camp) so I suggest checking it out.
Here are some quotes from the movie:
"You taste like burger. I don't like you anymore."
"I hope you're not having jumbo shrimp, because I'm allergic to oxymorons"
What are some fun summer movies you enjoy? Maybe I'll get lucky and they'll play them at the Terrace (:
**UPDATE FOR EM**
I do have a friend who managed to take a terrace chair - they put it in a garbage can and dragged it back to their place - this was at like 3 am or something crazy like that... SO IT CAN BE DONE!
Also, they can be purchased (I found a website once) but they are like $200... way too much for a not so comfy chair (but it would still rock to have one!)

The Terrace is my very fave place in Madison, hopefully soon, we can share large beers and scrabble there. Fave summer movie "Shag" a movie about four girls who are "moving on" in their life and share one more summer weekend together. LOVE IT.
Shag? Haven't seen it. Is Angie making that up? My fav summer movie is probably Ferris Bueller or American Pie.
This really made me miss the terrace!!! My husband still thinks that some day we are going to get really drunk and steal a terrace chair. I don't want to burst his bubble with the fact that this probably happens numerous times and evening and no one is ever successful!!
