FRIDAY LOWDOWN: Friday Night Market! Flynn Creek Circus! Origami Ghosts! More!

You somehow managed to make it to the end of another week, Humboldt. No small feat. As a reward, we have a pretty packed weekend here on ye olde Lowdown. You’ve got continuing gatherings we’ve already mentioned in this space — Friday Night Market and Flynn Creek Circus — and new offerings — The Starlite Inn and Ouroborotopia. Full details below.

Up at Arcata’s Outer Space they have a hat trick of bandage headlined by Origami Ghosts, who describe their music as “intricate & kaleidoscopic folds of sound, equal parts delicate and dimensional.” Is that accurate? Sample their vibe in the clip above and decide for yourself.
