The Placebo presents a workshop taught by Elliot Hallmark:
Topics Covered Include:
You are encouraged to bring your malfunctioning guitars, basses and other pick-up based electronic instruments (they’re all the same, but keyboards, amps, and stuff are completely different). You can fix them at the workshop with a little help. Also, bring your cables and we can even give your mics a go. If you do bring something to fix, bring whatever tools you need to open it.
Note: We’re not saying it’s impossible to fix your basket-case guitar, but there won’t be time in this workshop to do complete rebuilds.
When: Saturday, March 24 at 3pm
Where: The Ink People, 411 Twelfth Street, Eureka, next door to the Muni (map)
Cost: $2-$5 sliding scale (as always, your $2 annual Placebo membership is required)

What: The G8 Info Tour
“Once a year the 8 richest nations meet behind closed doors in secret with no publized agenda or published minutes, to discuss the fate of the world. They’ve been making empty promises for decades about improving the environment, poverty in Africa, and lots more, but the fact is that the G8 is not the solution to these ills, it is the problem!
We are preparing in Germany for large scale protests against the G8 meeting this June 6-8, 2007, and plan to come tell you about what’s going on here. We have done over 200 presentations in 25+ countries since November 2005, and are now coming to your town!”
When: March 16th, 6-8 pm

This is the Placebo’s weekly hang-out space. We have, like, tables and chairs and everything these days, so come on down, have a seat if you want or dance around like the crazy-wild kid you are. Draw, read zines, knit, stare at the wall, put on your music and pogo… we offer it all.

So if you heard about the Piss Shit Fuck show, you should know that they canceled. :(
But don’t despair, this Friday there are 2 (two) great local shows you can go to (and neither of them is that super-overpriced major-label bs, don’t you worry):
Both shows are $5 and All Ages
Support Your Local Scene
The Placebo Harm Reduction Collective is a DIY self help/ support group for those who want to deal with drug addiction and depression. If you would like to make changes in your life, continue to stay sober, or have support dealing- this is a confidential and compassionate environment. If you are part of another support group or drug treatment program already, you are still welcome to come.
Harm reduction is a set of practical strategies that reduce negative consequences of drug use, incorporating a spectrum of strategies from safer use, to managed use to abstinence. Harm reduction strategies meet drug users where they’re at, addressing conditions of use along with the use itself. Because harm reduction demands that interventions and policies designed to serve drug users reflect specific individual and community needs, there is no universal definition of or formula for implementing harm reduction.

Where: The Placebo, 47B West 3rd Street, Eureka (near the new CO-OP; enter via the Alley between 3rd and 4th)
