Arcata Eye and North Coast Journal Show Support
We’re looking for spaces to hold our January shows and will let you know as soon as we find them. This week we got some support from the local press. If you’ve ever had a positive experience at The Placebo or our warehouse mates and fellow Ink People projects, Synapsis and E2, please help us stay alive. Contact the Eureka City Council and email us if you’d like to know more or help in other ways: gimme_info at theplacebo.net.
In the North Coast Journal, Bob says:
Hardworking folks like those behind E-2, the Placebo and Synapsis should receive praise for shining a light in a dark corner of the city; they should not be run out of town. Forgive me if I repeat myself, but, in the words of Pink Floyd: “Hey … Leave those kids alone!” And show them some support in the weeks to come…

And in the Eye, Jasmine reports:
It’s sad to think that amazing shows like [the Jason Webley perfomance] are under threat…. The Placebo has endured three periods of homelessness, each one taking a bigger toll on the group, and there’s nowhere left for the group to go. But it’s not just The Placebo that’s being threatened, it’s the entire trio down at 47 West 3rd: The Placebo, Empire-Squared, and Synapsis. All three are all-volunteer-run nonprofits, and all three need your support…. If you like that there’s a place in Humboldt County that puts on all-ages drug and alcohol free rock shows, let the city of Eureka know by writing a letter to them. Help keep the scene alive.
