Not VEISHEA weekend

VEISHEA has been canceled the past couple of years and we have missed it.  I have noticed that campus is working new angles to offer all of their Springtime fun and club goodness.  On a most perfecct Saturday in April we attended the Spring football game.  Outside of the game, ISU featured many clubs in tent row, there was also a gear and Cyclone apperal sale, and open tours of the end-zone building and practice facility.  We watched half of the game (it was a running clock!) and then decided we wanted real food to eat and we didn't plan on waiting 30 minutes in the one open concession line, so we headed out.  But it was a fun outing, we ran into good friends to hang out with and loved being in the sun cheering on our Cyclones.


Saturday evening Robert and I filled in at a table for Cy's House of Trivia.  If I had a bucket list of Cyclone things to do this would be on it.  I was very excited to attend!  I wish I had taken more photos because it was so neat, but I wanted to play "cool" like it was no big deal, plus we had to keep our phones in the fish bowl on our table so we were not tempted to cheat and google all the answers.



This ice sculpture was on the food table.  It was the 10th year of Trivia.  HyVee catered all finger food, wings, dips, snacky type stuff.  On our table was a bag of chips and salsa galore, plus cupcakes and Buckets of popcorn from the popcorn machine
Keith Murphy and Andy Fales from WHO TV 13 and SoundOff were the MC's
This was was the grand entrence, isle into Hilton
I took this at the end of the evening so people were clearing out and the lights were up again.  100 tables, 8 people a table, $500/table, fun fundraiser!

Our table did really well the first couple rounds and actually led out of 100 tables for a round, then the fatal round of "One hit Wonders" they played a very familar song and you had to know the artist.  I think we scored 2/10 on that round!  I think I only contributed on a couple questions that only I knew.  Robert "smarty-pants" Kibbe knew so many questions, I am sure he will be asked back.
