For those of you delighted in future Bigfoot Jesse Eisenberg’s previous Humboldt dining adventures, perhaps you’d like to know yet another local establishment the Academy Award-nominated actor wandered into whilst presumably hungry. Yes, it is a slow Monday! What of it?

The Outpost can confirm — AKA, we noticed on Facebook — that Eisenberg stopped by Paul’s Live From New York in Eureka over the weekend to snag a slice. Good choice, Jess! Readers may reasonably wonder: Was he reminded of the time, on January 29, 2011, when he hosted Saturday Night Live with musical guest Nicki Minaj? We can’t say for certain, but the PLFNY crew were happy to have him there, all the same.

“So cool to have celebrities show up and enjoy a huge New York slice !!!,” the pizzeria posted on Facebook. Noice! 

Where in Humboldt will Jesse Eisenberg eat next? There’s traditionally not a lot of local news Thanksgiving week, so maybe LoCO will be forced to tell you!

Highway 299 was briefly fully closed by a vehicle fire at Berry Summit. Currently traffic is open to one-way controlled traffic, according to Caltrans. 

Updates from LoCO’s CHP Watch here.

As you might expect, the City of Eureka is eager to capitalize on October’s magical Sara Bareilles Day at Halvorsen Park by figuring out more events that might be worth the effort for that space. 

With that in mind, the city would like to hear from you about your Sara experience. If you’re itching to click some bubbles, you may do so here.

Have you been to Annie’s Cambodian Cuisine poppin’ new location in Eureka’s Henderson Center yet? You haven’t?!? Well, if not, you’re slippin’, because Academy Award-nominated Mark Zuckerberg impersonator Jesse Eisenberg has absolutely made that scene, as evidenced by a post on the restaurant’s social network! (Layers!)

“@Jesse_Eisenberg_Official, thanks for stopping by Annie’s Cambodian Cuisine,” restaurant staff wrote on Instagram. “It was an honor to have you in our restaurant. Can’t wait to see the new flick.”

The Outpost has heard of a few Eisenberg sightings around Humboldt in previous weeks. What brings the actor behind the Redwood Curtain — and for so long — you may reasonably wonder? Well, rumor has it he’s shooting a Zellner Brothers-directed Bigfoot movie in which he will star as the elusive cryptid. He said as much in an interview with Variety earlier this year.

“I play a Sasquatch: full makeup, full body hair, but no lines,” Eisenberg told the industry rag. “I’m so looking forward to this.”

Also, he gets to eat at Annie’s. Everything’s coming up Eisenberg.

Multiple readers report that the sky above Arcata again acted as a canvas for an as-yet unnamed sky artist. (We have our suspicions on who it might be.)

We started to type out “Check out this smiley face!” but upon review this character seems to be projecting a bit more “meh” about the state of things. It is a Monday morning, after all.

If your travels take you to Titlow Hill Road today, the Humboldt County Department of Public Works advises that it would be best to have chains in your rig. There’s currently two inches of snow on the roadway.
