Josephine Johnson’s Stuff Gets Stolen? Humboldt Throws Together a Fundraiser

Invest in your community, folks. If you’ve chosen to live in Humboldt County, make sure you reap the most tangible benefits of existing in a place of this small size (other than all that “pretty nature stuff”): Get to know your neighbors. Put your face out there. Take some of your leisure time to help those less fortunate. You’ll be better for it and, as we’ve experienced in recent weeks, when individuals who make Humboldt great hit hard times, Humboldt rallies around them right back.

The latest example of this phenomena can be seen Sunday afternoon. Earlier this week on the Lost Coast Outpost, you’ll recall that local singer/songwriter/good guy Josephine Johnson had her house broken into while she was helping out at North Star Quest Camp. A significant portion of her musical gear stolen. That sucks big.

How do we attempt to make this right? Well, less than a week after the bummer members of HumCo’s music community have thrown together an impromptu fundraiser at Mad River Brewery. If you head out and drop some love, you’ll be greeted by the sounds of Blacksage Runners, Taxi, Buddy Reed and The Darien Gap (and probably Josephine too). The stuff may be gone, but it’d surely warm Josephine’s heart to see you there.

(Full disclosure: Your LoCO correspondent thinks Josephine is cool and has plucked some strings in her presence, see below.)
