On Friday, October 9th, at The Union Bar and Grill, many bands came together to celebrate Aaron Vilk’s 21st birthday. Vilk, an Ohio University student and the ACRN promotions director, booked this event to give everyone some great memories on his birthday night. This show, comprised of a wide range of bands, offered something to almost everyone. From brutal grind, to hard party hits, to rap, this dynamic and diverse show delivered both good and not-so-good tunes.

I’ve been waiting for this day for quite some time now: my first-ever Lobsterfest. I put on a nice layer of sunscreen, grabbed a blanket and a pillow, and brought my laptop like the geek I am. I am ready for the day. I hope you’re ready for the rundown in the form of a live blog.

Lollapalooza is in Chicago, Illinois. Bonnaroo is in Manchester, Tennessee. Coachella is in Indio, California. These festivals may be fun, but they come complete with a lengthy drive and steep prices. A free alternative is right here; Ohio Univesity students, prepare yourself for Lobsterfest 2009.
