Humboldt, You Can Gather For ‘Back to the Future Day’ if You Must

Because you are reading these words, LoCO knows that you are on the Internet on Wednesday, October 21, 2015. Creepy, right? What we also know is that your presence on the web on this date indicates that you’ve seen Marty McFly’s mug approximately 10,000 times in you newsfeed already. They are calling it “Back to the Future Day,” because, as social media is hammering on, this is the date Marty travels to in the second film in the second film in the trilogy.  

“Where’s my hover board?” your dorky friend on Facebook wonders. Shut up.

What’s better than sharing “Back to the Future Day” memes on Instagram? Celebrating it with tangible humans, naturally. One way you could do that is by attending any of the three Back to the Future II screening’s Richard’s Goat Tavern are hosting this afternoon and evening. Details in your Lowdown listings below.

Note: You will need roads to get there.
