I used to say the best place to be during VEISHEA weekend if you wanted to party was anywhere but Ames. Unfortunately as a RA I was required to stay that weekend but thankfully my residents liked to do a camping trip near Boone that weekend which made things easy for me and they got to have fun without the cops and such spoiling it. Although 1 moron did get a OWI 1 year because he ran a stop sign leaving the park to go go into town to buy cigs right after they had just done Everclear shots and the deputy sheriff just happened to be driving by when he ran the stop sign.
