Long live "The Morgue"...I am now a senior and I would like to thank the guys at 509 for helping me get through my sophomore year in a alcohol induced haze....Right now my friends live at 509 , Pat, Tim, Cory, etc..etc...It has never lived up to the status that you brought it to my first year here...

Mark, Great site. I remember the Morgue vivdly. I am now a senior, and I still haven't found a party, or a bar that can match the good times I had at the Morgue. It all began when I was a Sophomore. The word "Morgue" became a houshold name, and the party became a ritual every Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Regardless of tests, presentations or blizzards and 30-below-zero temperatures, about 10-15 of us that lived in Watterson Towers would still make the trek up Fell Ave for the party of a lifetime. I even talked to "Animal" for the first and only time in my life there. Animal might be gone, but the spirit of the Morgue lives on. I hope all is going well for you these days, great work on the site... Jeff Green, Former Daily Vidette Editor, ISU Senior..jdgreen@rs6000.cmp.ilstu.edu

Hey guys! especially Jeff. the morgue, to say the least, was the greatest thing to hit ISU. I was a transfer student back in 94 and the morgue was my first party here. GOD DAMN! THE PLACE FUCKING ROCKED! NO ATTITUDES LOTS OF BEER, OTHER PARTY FAVORS, WOMEN, JUST PLAIN GOOD TIMES!!!! There has not been a party to match it. its a shame you guys are gone, last year before Jeff graduated , I can remember countless occasions reminiscing about that year, when I look back at college, 509 will definately stick out!! thatnks a million guys. LONG LIVE SPOGO!!! -MIKE GRAY

You guys threw the best parties my freshman year (94-95). I remember going there nearly every weekend and having a blast. The bands were the best, especially the blues (Blackjack) A good time to throw some beer down the hatch and to chill to some decent loud music. I even remember the old beer cases that were stacked up a story and half on the lightpole. It seems as if most of those style parties are a thing of the past now, but I don't do the house scene much.The only draw back was the limited space and low ceilings but that did't much matter when you were trashed. On a final note it seemed like you guys were one of the few parties that had an ample amount of beer for the masses and were not cocky assholes to foolish freshman. Live long and prosper! -rmstevi@rs6000.cmp.ilstu.edu

When I came to ISU as a freshman in '94, my friends and I quickly started looking for parties around campus. Although we frequented many places that year, none have stuck in our mind (and conversation) like the Morgue has. We would get ready on the nights of the parties and all meet at Watterson Towers at 8:45. We HAD to be at 509 by 9pm, or else we ran the possible risk of not getting in or waiting in line forever. I got drunk for the first time in my life on my eighteenth birthday, at where else but the Morgue. All of the guys that lived there were great to us. Mark would put my coat in his room, Jeff would let me have beer even after the keg was officially dry, and Ron, well he was just cool to us. We got totally dressed up for 70's and 80's night. We got to talk to a lot of really cool strangers, drink, dance..whatever. My sophomore year it changed. We thought that it was the house that was so great, but it wasn't, it was what happened there. How many people would even think to put TV's up and show Ferris Bueller during a party? But it worked, and we still talk about the great times we had there. The Morgue WAS my freshman year at college, and I think that was how it should be. Take Care... eklee@rs6000.cmp.ilstu.edu

All I got to say is FUCK YA ALL, just kiddin', I love you guys. The morgue was the best thing that ever happend to any of us, i miss the place alot. I miss getting drunk and other things in that hot dark basement. I miss getting sick every night. I miss pissin all over the place, and blaming it on ex-girl freinds. I miss hangin with the coolest people I've known. I think the morgue was more then just a party house, it was a place where I knew I could crash anytime I wanted, a place where when ever you stopped in there was always somethin goin on. I miss all you guys and especialy some of you girls. Spago is still alive and well, but he must be going now. May all of your lifes be just a little happier whith the thought of the morgue. And hey Jeff I still haven't found that red jacket you used to always ask me about, but I do like eating beans with George Went. Goodnight and drink a beer for me.... Scott Deruntz
