Dear Editor,
The sun sets on Ball State as you prepare for your evening. You feel relaxed; a shower and a beer, a little Totinos pizza, and you’re ready to roll.
At roughly 11 p.m., the local band is getting ready to rock the house. They are most likely drunk and anticipating the evening’s festivities.
The party gets crowded, the keg is flowing freely, and no one has to wince because the beer is good — maybe Guinness, Newcastle or Bell’s Two-Hearted Ale. Finally, the basement is packed, everyone’s ready to explode.
The band goes on, screaming inaudible things as everyone cheers, knowing tonight is going to be a night to remember — hopefully, anyway. The band could be anyone, from The Annex, Everything, Now! or Charlie Don’t Surf to my personal favorite, Stomping Ground.
They are laying down a funky groove to get everyone dancing. A hairy bass player drops his pants, a drunken girl vomits. The groove is so tight the band says to hell with the set break, we’re playing all night.
Everybody gets drunker and some people get lucky. The evening hopefully ends around 7 a.m. with a trip to an all-night cafe.
This is why I came to college! I came to college to dance and party, to play music and baseball, to meet chicks and sleep until 3 p.m. every day. The Muncie community is trying to kill us with its lack of kegs, and now a sound ordinance. I encourage all Ball State University students to boycott all liquor stores not selling kegs, and to protest, in any way necessary (excluding violence), the sound ordinance vote.
