Lowdown: Blue Lake Wins Thursday
On numerous occasions, your Lowdown has openly lusted for a life in sunny Blue Lake. Thursday night provides further evidence that this quaint, little Humboldt enclave has it going on. Within a liberal two block radius tonight you could …
- Take in Mooky Cornish’s one-woman show The Glories of Gloria Revue.
- Drink a beer and tap a foot to the sounds of local rock ’n’ rollers The Delta Nationals.
- Assemble your own (literal) trashy wardrobe at SCRAP Humboldt’s Trash Mash-Up workshop.
- Check your brain’s functionality at the Jerry Lee Wallace-hosted Trivia Night at the Logger Bar.
How do you do it, Blue Lake? You’re making the rest of us look bad. For events in other towns, scroll your Lowdown listings below.
