'01 was the last year there was really anything there, right?

...and '00 was the sneak attack?

I can't remember...been a long time. Raleigh and NCSU pretty well ruined about everything they could get their hands on.


Oh, and:

HA,

I remember the sneak attack.

8/9/2012 1:51:26 AM

brent road needs to get back to partying like its 1999

8/9/2012 2:29:02 AM

Details plz (I went to IU...although I vaguely remember hearing about this)

8/9/2012 2:40:29 AM

I'd drag my old ass out there if they held a Brent Road Party, circa late-90s

8/9/2012 7:18:25 AM

brent road still looks like a war zone

8/9/2012 7:19:21 AM

I started in Fall of 2002 and they were still happening but not close to what they were before that from what I've heard.

8/9/2012 8:27:29 AM

sneak attack? tell me more

8/9/2012 8:27:49 AM

I think I was there in 2000 but I don't really remember the circumstances

8/9/2012 8:39:55 AM

8/9/2012 8:52:25 AM

Do the cops still show up every year, or did they forget about them towers?

8/9/2012 9:13:21 AM

Last time the cops were there was somewhere 'round 03 I think.

8/9/2012 9:57:08 AM

I remember in '00 if you took a step off of someone's lawn into the street (or other non-private domain) you would be arrested

after the Brent Rd. party ended sparkys Slip N Slide parties were pretty epic. Especially whatever year had the wet t-shirt contest

8/9/2012 10:26:14 AM

^ happened to me. I stepped out in the street to walk around a mailbox and got nabbed for open container

8/9/2012 10:44:39 AM

I loved going to the Brent Rd. party. My older brother lived there when I was in High School, which was always awesome. I remember in '00, watching everyone getting tickets for open container. We tried to warn everyone, but there were too many idiots. They had to walk in the road.

Best war zone ever!

so whats the story here?

a bunch of dumbass college students got pwnd?

8/9/2012 11:17:36 AM

Fucking liberal fascist cops ruining everyone's good-natured fun.

8/9/2012 11:18:21 AM

well see!

nobody has bothered describing this good-natured fun yet!

surely SOMETHING distasteful attracted their initial attention all those years ago...

8/9/2012 11:21:24 AM

7,000 students drinking

8/9/2012 11:22:21 AM

alcohol, drugs, and sex. Pretty much the webster's definition for "good-natured fun"

8/9/2012 11:22:27 AM

...and it was assumed cops wouldnt appear?

theyre automatically fascists?

8/9/2012 11:25:14 AM

yep. seems like you are finally getting it.

8/9/2012 11:26:07 AM

Mad jelly I missed all this. My introduction to drinking at State was Natty Light and Popov smuggled in a duffel bag to the top of Metcalf.

8/9/2012 11:27:56 AM

^^^ it went on for 20+ years without a problem. The problem became when that city councilman bought a house on Brent Road and decided to run all the college kids off.

From what I hear, it's a total slum now. Serves that motherfucker right.

8/9/2012 11:33:12 AM

I remember that NCSU would also put on a separate party on campus for those that didn't want to drink.

In other words, the nerds.

8/9/2012 11:36:42 AM

the couple years they really gestapo'd Brent, there were some epic parties on other streets, like thea lane for example

8/9/2012 11:42:57 AM

LET'S DO IT AGAIN! I will drive up to Raleigh to do it. Does anyone even live on Brent Road anymore?

...Wait a minute...

I'm almost 30...

Don't families live on Brent Road now?

8/9/2012 11:46:35 AM

I lived there for the 2000 blowout and the subsequent police lock down. They shut that thing down like pros.

Um........I'm pretty sure most student living is slummy....amiright?


Also, I think if we had the party again today I picture it with a bunch of married couples with little kids running around jumping on furniture and stuff. <giggles>

8/9/2012 11:48:19 AM

maybe you should just remember it for what it once was.

you know, like your best memories of your grandparent before they developed parkinsons/alzheimers.

death was a release.

8/9/2012 11:59:13 AM

Once they ran the students off of brent road several of the houses quite literally became crack houses. That area is way, way, way worse now than it was when I was in school. They successfully killed the brent road party, but unintended consequences will get you every time.

Tha fuck are some of you talking about? I lived on Brent Rd last year. It's just as shitty as it ever was and it's almost all students living there. Of course the outside of the houses look worse. It's been a decade since most of you have been in school. The duplexes are all cheap student housing that landlords will be able to rent whether they fix them or not. That being said, I loved my house.

I was one of the houses on Thea Ln. that threw epic parties when they fucked up Brent Rd. Shit, TT10, You were probably in my house and never even knew it.

8/9/2012 2:58:31 PM

nvm, that didn't come out as funny as I had thought.

I'm sleepy.

The powers that be were on the warpath to eradicate every tradition back then. In an effort to have some tradition left they came up with a new event... everybody hang on Dan Allen outside Witherspoon and enjoy $0.25/slice pizza. Is that one still going?

8/9/2012 3:08:12 PM

Brent Road was a blast. I can't remember which year it was, maybe 1999 or 2000, but that year was the best, the street was rocking, girls flashing, people everywhere. Good times for sure. I am from Florida and guys I knew that went to UF even heard about it. Seemed like people from every college in the state would show up.

Yeah, they ruined everything within a few years. Brent Road, Lawn Party, Pigstock, tailgate, general NCSU-area partying, you name it.
