Alumni memories

FAC (Friday Afternoon Club) at the R Bar. Quarter beers from 4-6, then staggering down the streen to get "Crystalized" at the Crystal with $1 PBR's and then meandering to LJ's for free appetizers. My buddies and I had a spot reserved at the R Bar right in front of the "No Checks from Ty Simpson for the Rest of His Life!" sign. You could guarantee hearing "Ring of Fire" and "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" in the jukebox at least 10 times each during those two hours.

Oh yes. I remember FAC. But SMC (Saturday Morning Club) in our bathrobes on game day was something else entirely. Oh how I miss the Rocking R.

[ChiOCat]

- My first Cat/Griz in Bozeman, it was cold, wet, we lost (of course) But probably the most fun and exciting day of my college years.

- Homecomings, when else do you get drunk 2 or 3 times in one day?

- Freezing then boiling, freezing, then boiling. Ahhhh, life in Cobliegh and Roberts!

- Burgers on the rooftop of the Crystal.

- Montana Fats and the real R Bar.

Co-ed mud volleyball tournament outside of Lanfgord.

My dorm room (Langford) being the beer transport room (corner room behind the bushes).

Floor behavior (or lack of) forcing one RA to resign and another one to lose his mind and quit after throwing a D-cell maglite through his window.

Couch on the lawn, keg next to us, Hank Williams on the radio blaring out the window - ALL ON A TUESDAY AFTERNOON. Redneck heaven.

First floor (South) Langford across from the R.A.'s room? If so, I had the same room.

[tdub]

Yup, that'd be the one.

Was "The Dark Side of the Moon" still painted on the one wall?? Sweet painting.

Nope - whitewashed.

Dang. The whole wall directly across from the closets was painted like that. It was the coolest looking room on the floor. I wonder who the scrooge was that painted over that.

What set of rooms was that? I lived in Langford on the first floor in 112 my freshman year and seem to remember the Floyd mural, but I also spent a large portion of my freshman year partaking in finer beverages such as Black Star and Key Light so I could have seen it somewhere else in Langford.

Hey, I remember that. Agree tdub, you guys had a great room. You guys on 1st south Langford were crazy that year!

I don't remember the room number, but it was right on the corner, across from the RA's room. If you walked from the front desk down towards first south, I think you would pass the bathroom and then to a four-way intersection of hallways, and it was the first door on the left past the intersection (Funny, it sounds like I'm giving directions like I did back then to the girls when I was trying to lure them with the promise of alcohol ). I'm horrible with directions.

What year was your freshman year? I lived there Fall '96.

Definitly some good memories there. Although 4th floor was fun to hang out on that year too

I was in fall 2000. I was in the room next to the RA's and I'm almost positive that the Floyd painting was in the room across from him still, but I'm starting to think someone else may have had it on one of the higher floors. Like I said, I spent a lot of my freshman year in another state of mind. The guy across from me had a huge playboy bunny painted on his wall. We also used our room as the "gathering" place for alcohol since one of the sets of doors was right down the hallway or we'd toss it in through our window. I miss Black Star. I had a blast in the Langford. My freshman year was also when I was introduced to the upstanding establishment known as the American Legion Bar Grill and Supper Club.

The Floyd painting was definitly in my room across from the RA's. I think someone on 2nd south had another cool one, but don't remember for sure. A guy named "Wiz" lived in the room that you did. He was famous for "Wiz's Homey Juice" - a lovely concoction of powdered Gatorade, Everclear, and who-knows-what-else. Many folks have a few nights of amnesia from that stuff.

Key Light and Bud Ice were the most plentiful empties you could find around the grounds at that time. It was the year when I started dabbling in microbrews as well. I tried something like 60 or 70 different beers that year.

[vike_king]

Discovering the Pickle Barrell was less than 30 yards from my dorm room, 215 Colter! (it was a dorm back in the day).

[Coyote77]

Does anybody know if there is still a Steve Miller Mural in Roskie 306. We had the album cover from Greatest Hits painted on one wall by Mike Massman in 1979. It was pretty cool. I'm guessing it is long gone but would be cool if it was still there.

[PapaG]

ya - the Maxx brought in a lot of women.

i also remember going to one of Pearl Jam's first concerts at the fairgrounds (they sold 200 tickets) and then going to the paw afterward to have them storm the stage and play some more. it was right after they changed their name from "Mookie Blaylock".

even saw orginal members of Blue Oyster Cult play at the paw as they passed through on a concert tour.

ahh - days of freedom, low responsibility and no cash......glad they are over.

I was there. They may have only sold 200, but a few friends and me got over a fence and into the barn for the show. A once in a lifetime concert, no doubt about it. I'd say there were double the 200 actually at the show.

Unless you can remember the Oaks, Robin, Crystal, Rockin-R, Scoop, Corner Club and May Ping's ;YOU'RE WAY TOO DAMN YOUNG!!!
