E2 and the Placebo get to stay open for the low-key events, so The Placebo is back to hosting the weekly Art Hang. Every Friday, people, from 4 pm to 8 pm. Except the Fridays before Arts Alive when E2 folks’ll be hanging art! Show up anytime and do your thing: knitting (of course), music, art, reading, talking . . . it’s up to you. Speaking of which, we’re looking for Art Hang projects: stuff that can be mostly done in one sitting so people have something to take home. If you have an idea, let us know!
When: Friday, January 26th, 4pm to 8 pm. Show up anytime.
Where: The Placebo, 47B West 3rd St, between A and Commercial. (Access is via the alley between 3rd and 4th)

Art Hang is back and this is the 2nd Friday of the month so the UnNamed Placebo Knitting Whatsit is happening once again. If you don’t know how to knit, we will teach you. If you don’t want to knit… then don’t! Hang out, read zines, draw something, write a six word story, listen to music, or limber up for the All Local Bands Show that starts the moment we lay our needles down.
When: 4pm-8pm, Friday November 10th
Where: The Placebo - 47B W 3rd St., in Eureka right next to the new Arkley-owned Co-op building

Hey everybody,
We’re taking a couple of weeks off so that E2 can use the space, but we’re coming back at you on Friday, November 10th 6th. We’ll start off with a show at The Synapsis featuring Warhammer 48k, The Signals, and someone we can’t tell you about yet.
Then on November 10th it’s an Art Hang and the monthly meeting of The Placebo’s Knitting Club. Immediately following, we’re gonna have an All Local Bands show. That puppy is still being organized, so if yer in a band that’s interested in playing, contact Samantha at moohat3 at aol.com.
November 17th, the Flashy Robots are bringing in their futuristic drag punk improv glam rap variety show. Whew. It’ll be good, just-this-side-of-clean fun with a couple of bands to set the tone.
The next day, Saturday November 18th coughmybirthdaycough we have a most excellent show featuring The Pasties, The Trucks, The Professional SuperHeroes, and The Signals. Oh yeah. That night is for to dance.
Do we even need to say that all of this is All-Ages and as cheap to get in as we can make it?
