This Friday, A&O (which stands for something, but literally no one knows what) is hosting a concert featuring a black musical act preceded by a white musical act that guy from Community, and some band that you don’t listen to, but that one girl from your dorm who ironically wears the same glasses as your grandpa listens to. It’s at some time, probably at night.[1] There will also be Morty Schapiro a special guest. They actually do this concert every fall, they host it at our basketball arena (Welsh-Ryan), and they call it A&O Blowout.
The site of what will certainly be the greatest experience of the latter half of one of your Fridays.
Now, you’re a freshman, and the only concert experience you’ve ever had is that one time you went with your mom to see John Mayer and had to uncomfortably listen to her sing along with “Your Body is a Wonderland”. You’re in college now, and after almost four weeks on campus you think you’ve pretty much got everything down pat. So since there’s this concert being held very close to campus that’s like super cheap, you’re probably thinking, “fuck yeah, let’s go!” And you should go. Attending Blowout is a freshman rite-of-passage; you go your first year here, realize it’s kinda meh, and then never go again.[2] That being said, it definitely doesn’t have to be meh; you can have a great time, as long as you know what to do and what to expect. So let Sherman Ave fill you in with the deets. You trust us, right?
