Review: Morning on the Green was a clever and exciting replacement to mayhem on the streets
My 3 a.m. alarm buzzed on my phone, and I jolted awake to the sound of an Irish jig and my roommates preparing drinks in the kitchen. Though I despise being woken up early, I had to persevere for my final St. Fratty’s day at Cal Poly.
I can confidently say it was totally worth it, because Cal Poly crushed it for this year’s 4:45 a.m. Morning on the Green concert at the Lower Sports Complex on Saturday the 14. In my four years of Fratty’s at Cal Poly, this has been one of the best days. I think a lot of us that had experienced the craze and thrill of the annual block party were grieving it, and needed something that could stand up to the sheer number of students the block party brought.

Shabang, ‘A good old Central Coast time,’ celebrates its 10th anniversary
After being frustrated with music venues getting shut down in San Luis Obispo, a group of college students hiked to the top of Cuesta Ridge and put on their own “house show.” This happened 10 years ago.
“House shows and concerts were really important to us,” Greg Golf, founder of Shabang and ‘16 alum, said. “A lot of our social scene was based around that.”
Originally termed as ‘The Last Shabang,’ Golf said the show was a way to end the 2014 school year and now has become a San Luis Obispo tradition for 10 years, “[putting] the central coast on the map.”
