As you read this, the season of fall encroaches upon us. The days get shorter and the temperatures get colder. So what do you do in the face of the encroaching darkness? Party, of course! And there's no better party to celebrate darkness than the DJ Darkwave Festival at the Vertex nightclub. Headlining the festivities are none other than Rochester's own premier Industrial group, Silent Auction. Also performing will be Marlowe, DJ Aaron Andrews, and Vertex's own resident DJ, DJ Darkwave. Never before has darkness been so delightful.

The DJ Darkwave Festival starts Sunday, September 6, at 7:30 p.m. at Vertex, 169 N Chestnut St. $8. 232-5498.
