$190,000 approved by Student Gov for concert in the spring
- Thread starter DFWClone
- Start date
I think this is to keep kids from other schools coming. If I know Iowa state, and I think I do, there will still be thousands of drunk college kids at this concert on a Sunday at 4pm.
Shot in the dark but the top one looks similar to maybe Fetty Wap or Waka? Middle right, Chance the Rapper or Desiigner? I would think these are outside of that budget though. No clue on the other two.
Waka has already come once and the concert got shut down. I doubt they'd try that again.
For 190K we could get 27 Jimmies Chicken Shacks. That's a lot of Jimmies Chicken Shacks!
I think the yellow is Desiigner, idk how I feel about him performing live.
The main one is probably 2chainz, which would be cool.
Have no idea about the other two
My favorite school sponsored entertainment while at ISU was Chapelle at the rec center a couple years before he exploded into household name. Ton Loc was at the same event that was surprisingly awesome...unless I'm mashing two years together. I know both were at the Rec and much better than anything at Hilton or Stephens during my years at ISU.
Point is the unknown or has-been acts are often as good or better than a "name".

I remember watching Chapelle in the Rec as well. He was hilarious.
Wasn't Barenaked Ladies there sometime around then as well.
I know Black Eyed Peas were there during my time, but that was before Fergie was part of the group I believe.
On a Sunday and before dead week? What a joke. Going to prevent some alum (possibly including myself) from being able to attend.
I was already a Chapelle fan but had no idea he'd get that big. I saw him here on New Year's Eve and it was great. I told the people sitting next to me the last time I saw him at a show it was free admission...they just smirked like I was lying.
College students in Iowa were OUTRAGED they had the Black Eyed Peas...about two years before every frat guy/sorority girl in the midwest would be constantly playing Black Eyed Peas.
I wasn't familiar with them but was shocked at how upset students were that we had Black Eyed Peas before they were big.
I vaguely remember Bare Naked Ladies, they were big around that same time though.
