WEDNESDAY LOWDOWN: Wow!
Geez! This week your Humboldt Wednesday feels almost like a Saturday. Scroll your Lowdown below for more than your regular allotment of midweek fun. For example: Fortuna Rodeo Week is in full swing in the Friendly City, meaning you are invited to test your luck at ordering a slab of curly fries before strapping into one nauseating ride or another.
There’s also quite a few quality musical offerings farther north. One we’ll highlight: The Basement is playing host to Dixieland jazz throwback group Blair Crimmins and The Hookers. Sample their sound above, then find full details on that show and everything else below.
