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.

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.
