Packed like sardines, with jello shots

sardines in tinAlbany police say they busted a college house party Saturday and it's the usual allegations: alcohol to minors, charging for admission, jello shots, bad beer. And then there's this part (emphasis added):

Officers responded to 556 Washington Avenue this past Saturday evening for a large party inside one of the apartments. When they arrived shortly after 11:00 p.m. they found over 300 people stuffed inside a student's apartment.

After taking a look at the building on Google Streetview, we're guessing a floor-through apartment probably isn't any bigger than about 1,200 square feet. Yep, that's no more than 4 square feet of personal space. Cozy.

The APD figures the people hosting the party, who reportedly identified themselves as UAlbany students, raised about $1700 by charging at the door and for jello shots. Who says young people aren't motivated and entrepreneurial these days?

The full press release is after the jump.
