June,

I lived in the closest dorm to Grady Gammage 15 years ago in college. The
'birthday cake' is actually the music building across the parking lot. We
all referred to Gammage as a uterus, as the large ramps off to the side
were the fallopian tubes. But I think 'toilet' works too. I wasn't into
theater as much then, though saw the Cabaret tour there and really enjoyed
it, which I think helped influence my move into theater when electrical
engineering didn't really work out.
