Beamers/Foul Play was a good combo (upstairs/downstairs) west of the Kum & Go back in the day (late 80s-). Our hangout was Thumbs Up where the Subway now sits. Lots of 2 for 1 GTs on Thursdays. When it closed some people brought a bong into the basement. The 80s were fun.
We had great times at the Lost & Found. Its longevity should give it some add'l votes. Lumpy's came on board just as the riots happened. If I'm not mistaken the owner had a 100 keg party the cops tried to stop.. bad decision Ames PD.
The Ames PD to me is responsible for the messes at VEISHEA. As a RAGBRAIer, I bet the Iowa State Patrol would do a better job of handling a big crowd. Breaking up parties and creating a mass of p!ssed of drunks was a recipe....
Not many alumni options to attend now aside from fball/bball games but those are not the same. The whole deal got railroaded by our current Prez. I like his support for our teams but not "his" decision for our school wide celebration. I heard we may have a pie festival or something like that, smh.
