7.21.10

I skipped this day the last time I did a mass update on this blog. What is my problem with updating this thing? It is pretty much officially the end of summer and I have not even done one update for August. extreme lameness.

Back to July 21st. Nancy and Tyler (Mr. and Mrs. Madison as we lovingly called them) had only a couple weeks left in Madison before they moved, so El and I threw a little going away get together for them at the Terrace. While we were organizing it, we decided we would bring some light dinner food for everyone to snack on and we would buy pitchers when we got there. The day of the party, I was talking to El and I start second guessing our plan and say, "they allow us to bring food there, right?" to which she says, "yeah. I mean, I think so. I've brought Chiptole there, why can't we bring sandwiches?"....

....well, as it turns out you cannot bring carryins. Maybe if one had a small group and were subtle about it, it wouldnt be a big deal. In our case, we had about 25 people and large quantities of sandwiches, chips and desserts. Woops. We got a slap of the hand and were told the rules, but they were nice enough to let us stay and keep our food. thanks, Terrace workers, for not breaking up our party!
