agree about the apartment thing. i had gone to multi-apartment parties there several times previous to that.

on another note, i got maced twice that night. once trying to help a guy that already got maced and couldn't see on knapp and welch and another time walking to my buddies place when a guy in front of me walking down the street randomly decided to throw a rock/brick/something(?) though the windows of the US Bank ATM kiosk on lincoln way.

other than that, VEISHEA has generally been good times. especially the jager olympics years ago.

I saw a kid get knifed to death outside of Adalante. First time I've seen a fatal stab wound live and in person.

Sitting on our porch on wood st playing drinking games all day with people scattered all over the place. Grilling out listening to music. Going to the bars at night then coming back and drinking some more.
Waking up the next morning to find our entire yard littered with beer cans was all cleaned up by somebody who wanted the money. Then, proceed to do it all over again.
I miss being a college student.


Dave, you can go home. Just do it. Can you also play bball? Have you used up your eligibility? Tryouts start tomorrow.:wink:

Well, I suck at basketball.. But, I don't think I would want to tryout anyways because I wouldn't want to transfer anywhere else after a year or two... :wideeyed::wink:

Bumping this as an alternative to the Pollard email thread... Who's taking a half day at work and heading to Ames today?

I was around for that stabbing too. What a crazy deal, those guys that weren't even students messed stuff up for a few years.

Cherry pies?

Yep, will get a pie for a snack this afternoon. Just got back from central campus BBQ. Watched the Forestry kids beat the Civil Engineering kids in tug of war. Apparently there is a cool story behind this involving an Axe trophy the foresters found in the basement of Science II this year.

God... I wish I was up there right now. I'd be sitting in the backyard on Woodland playing bags and drinking beer.

Slaving away in the dungeon of Drake Law school instead. I should be in Ames before midnight, so there will be plenty of partying left, assuming my brother and my buddies who still live in Ames aren't too snookered.

I lived on Hunt in 04 and was pretty good friends with Pat and Adam the guys that had the party at the apts. It was common place to have an all apt. party there on any given day, cops caused the riot.

They really did, and anyone who watched it could tell you as much. I was at the party(s) on Hunt St that night, and people weren't out of control. There were just a lot of people drinking beer in yards, having fun. Then the cops tried to break it all up for basically no reason. If they had just left that crowd alone, there never would have been a riot. Period.

Just had pizza on central campus... Dr. Hill spoke at the opening ceremonies and said the sun will come back...which it did about 30 seconds later.
