WEDNESDAY LOWDOWN: All the Fun is in Arcata Again
We here at LoCO are forever hunting for fresh data points in the “Who’s Cooler: Eureka or Arcata?” war. Yes, this is a conflict only we are actually invested in. But it’s a healthier thing to devote our attention to than the actual dumb war our country suddenly finds ourself entangled in. Self care.
Well, in tonight’s battle for most vibrant Wednesday night scene, it’s an absolute slaughter. Scroll your Lowdown below and bear witness to Arcata’s midweek joy dominance. Most notably: Humboldt Brews plays host to beloved Seattle hip hop artist Grieves, who was kind enough to pencil us into his Out Cold Tour. Remind yourself what he’s all about with the clip above and/or look at the rest of the fun Arcata is having in our listings below.
