Veishea

**CubsnClones** · 01-19-2009, 04:07 PM

I haven't been to veishea since 1993 when I got drunk and past out on the Sigma Phi Epshelon's front lawn, with a stuffed porky the pig strapped to my waist.

How's the event been holding up???

Stabbing
Prohibition
Riot
Riot
Cancellation
Parade in the Snow
And an original 2009 schedule that included dates in March (before it was pushed back two weeks to mid-April).

except for the couple of years of trouble....it still remains a good time. My family loves it.

VEISHEA 2006 & 2007 were great.

Last year the snow kind of mucked things up for everybody but the event has definitely turned around from VEISHEA's of the Late 90's-early 2000's.

plus...spring ball at the same time!

I was told it was the "sig ep" house. I was first introduced to whisky that night, so my appologies for the lapse in memory, I don't remember a whole lot of that night.

May as well include the 80's in that bad era, at least the mid and late 80's.

let's get the explanation out of the way. I was there in the late 80s and plenty of out of town non-ISU kids were plenty happy to ruin it for everyone else.

I still remember the second stabbing when a man came from Ft Dodge to Ames and committed the crime.

Ruined a great weekend.

My first experience was my senior year when I was there visiting the campus and the football team and got introduced to Jack and passed out at the Teke (sp?) house! Oh, those were the days!

i thought last years veishea was "turrabul"

**cyclonedave25** · 01-19-2009, 06:19 PM

Last year's veishea was horrible. Snow, cold, wristbands, etc...
The two years before that were pretty good IMO. Good weather, good music, and good partying.

I was at Veisha in 1985-1988 and I remember one of those years a riot broke out and the crowd tried to rock cars and turn them over. They eventually turned one on it's side. Johnny Orr was called to come out with a megaphone to ask everyone to go home...it worked.
