5 reasons to get off the couch this weekend

If you say you’re bored this weekend, we’re going to come to your house and duct tape you to that stupid couch you love so much. Check out these best bets at the bars instead — because it seriously hurts to remove duct tape.

Zombies Revenge at Vex

Club Vex threw a killer Zombie party back in June, proving that Dayton may be dying, but it’s coming back to eat your brains. They’re doing it again as a warm-up to their week-long Halloween celebration that begins Oct. 23. DJ Kris and Matt Freeman will be spinning Industrial, Goth, Darkwave and more for your flesh-eating pleasure.

WHERE: Vex, 101 S. St. Clair St., Dayton

WHEN: 9 p.m. til late, Friday, Oct. 16

THE BITE: No cover for zombies before 11 p.m., and ladies are free until midnight. Humans 18-20 are $5, over 21 $3.

Rock show at Hammerjax

Hammerjax isn’t the first place you think of for live music in Dayton, but the lineup this Friday may be worth giving this dance club a second chance. Springfield’s own pop-punk powerhouse Callahan will be joined by local alt rock favorites Mona, Long Island rockers Big City Lights, and The Hit, a Dallas band playing upcoming shows with the likes of Cobra Starship and Boys Like Girls.

WHERE: Hammerjax, 111 E. Fourth St., Dayton

WHEN: 9 p.m., Friday, Oct. 16

THE BITE: 18 and up welcome, call (937) 641-1114 for more information.

Jonathan Dayton’s Birthday Party at Newcom’s

Celebrate the birthday of our city’s namesake at Newcom’s Tavern. Admission is FREE. Score cool stuff. Eat some pizza and birthday cake and enjoy signature drinks. There will be music, trivia, contests and an appearance by “Jonathan Dayton”. The party starts at 8 p.m., and ActiveDayton.com’s own Party Crashers will be there around 9:30 p.m. For more information on the party, and to find out who the heck this Jonathan Dayton guy is, visit www.jonathandayton.com. A portion of the proceeds benefit the Miami Valley Firefighters/EMS Memorial Association.

WHERE: Newcom’s Tavern, 418 E. Fifth St., Dayton

WHEN: 8 p.m., Friday, Oct. 16

THE BITE: No cover

Reality star at Cheeks

We don’t usually give much space to events at strip clubs, mainly because if you like that sort of thing you pretty much know what’s up. But we thought we’d let you know, for those that are interested and legally able to partake in this sort of thing, that Cheeks is hosting a special guest this Friday. Ashley from “Rock of Love” will be performing on stage and possibly even in your lap. So if you’re a VH1 reality junkie, or just like strip clubs, this is the party for you.

WHERE: Cheeks Gentleman’s Club, 906 Watertower Lane, West Carrollton

WHEN: Friday, Oct. 16

THE BITE: Call (937) 384-0183 for more information.

Sweetest Day at Vue

Yes, it’s that time of year again. Get ready for the scariest holiday ever created by Hallmark - Sweetest Day. Luckily, ladies, you don’t have to be in a relationship to score some free champagne and roses at Vue Ultra Lounge’s Sweetest Day Party this Saturday.

WHERE: 1004 Miamisburg Centerville Road., Centerville

WHEN: 9 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 17

THE BITE: No cover
