FRIDAY LOWDOWN: Sublime, Cypress Hill in Blue Lake This Weekend
It’s going to be a busy weekend out in Blue Lake where one and all are invited to make long-term temple art commitments during the 10th annual Inked Hearts Tattoo Expo featuring numerous in-demand tattoo artists from around the globe. As part of the festivities, Blue Lake Casino will also host a pair of musical groups whose songs have provided the soundtracks to uncountable Humboldt smoke-out sessions, namely Sublime with Rome (Friday) and Cypress Hill (Saturday). Details on that and more in your Lowdown below.
