Saturday Lowdown: Non-Kinetic Things You Could Do Today

Kinetics will dominate most of Humboldt’s Memorial Day Weekend mind space (and LoCO will add to that with our coverage later today, for sure). But if you are allergic to Rutabaga Queens or whatever, there are actually other things you could do Saturday:

  • Some guy named Bob Dylan is turning 73 today. Celebrating in his absence, a ton of local musicians will gather out at Mad River Brewery in (hopefully) sunny Tangled-up-and-Blue Lake to play and sing songs penned by the ‘60s icon. Bring your voice.
  • The anti-GMO crowd will be out in full force as they March Against Monsanto through Eureka’s Old Town. The sure-to-be-colorful chants will have rhythm added to them by local Samba drummers. Bring a sign.
  • McKenna Faith ain’t doing to bad for herself. The young, Mendocino County-born, Nashville-connected country singer has been touring the nation in support of her hit “We Like Trucks.” The video (below) for the song was shot in Mendo section of the Eel River and features, what else, pickups tearing up the riverbed. Crazy kids. Anywho, she’ll be at Bear River Casino tonight. Bring a truck.
