goodbye union south

we bowled our way into history last night. it wasn't part of history because we bowled a perfect game. in fact, some of us didn't even reach a triple digit score. but for all of us, we bowled for the very last time in uw's union south game room. the union closes for good this weekend. we didn't bring the camera (for shame!), so these internet stock photos will have to suffice.

union south:

the game room:union south is a quiet, unassuming, somewhat out-of-the-way student union where very little happens. every time i lost my student i.d. card, i had to go to union south to get a new one. david bought lots of coffee and sandwiches there in graduate school, as it is across the street from the biochemistry campus. we saw tilly and the wall, pjork, and a battle of the bands in the tiny cafeteria/concert venue. back when every kid didn't have their own computer and before web-based e-mail, i would swing by union south with my email disk and check my email on their computers.

here's a union south memory from way back: the only photo we have of david and i in the game room.

ah, union south. your game room ran out of beer last night, and you're low on tombstone pizzas. there are no plans to re-stock, as they're shutting your doors for good on sunday. they're tearing you down in february. you'll kind of be missed.
