We went out this morning for a round of ice skating on the Wingra lagoon, and as we drove up we saw people out on Lake Wingra in some kind of circular formation from which plumes of smoke arose. Some kind of ice barbeque? A winter tailgate party? I called it "ice-gating" — pronounced almost exactly like "ice skating." After our ice skating, we drove by and I took a few pictures.
We saw the signs: "Grill 4
☮."
Here's the website for the event. "
The fun: create a giant peace sign using 'old school' Weber grills on frozen Lake Wingra. While in this awesome formation, we will grill meats, enjoy friends and have fun in the great outdoors."

Grilling for Peace, sponsored, one hopes, by PETA.

Grilling for peace. Islamists are excused.
Meat is murder!
This week agitation is out/ peace is in.
Did the grilling unfreeze frozen Lake Wingra plunging all into the depths?
Yeah, lemondog, into the depths at about 10'.
I'd respect them grilling for peace a lot more if they were grilling pork chops for peace in ISIS-controlled territory.
They picked a fabulous day to do it. It was beautiful out today, the sun felt warm on my neck, and I walked down to the Union, saw the Broomball Tourney on the ice, and the kites, and then walked back home.
I think this is Year 4 or 5 for it?
Nothing better than grilling out on a Weber Grill.
Inscrutable people, these Americans.
One is reminded of the Alan Sherman monologue...LINK
Hail to thee, fat person, you kept us out of war.
If ever there was a target rich environment for global warming that would be it.
UW-Mad version of Nazca figures?
"Ice-gating" sounds like a scandal, like Tonya Harding or something.
