The Placebo

We need some new merch, folks, and we need people to make it. We’ll be doing silk-screening, button making, and transfers. Come up with your own Placebo-related designs and get ‘em produced on the spot. Bring yer own t-shirt and get it silk-screened - with the Placebo design of your choice - for free!
You don’t need to have any prior experience and you can drop by anytime between 4 and 8pm to help out.

Oh yeah, we’ll also be watching some quality science fiction shows you might never’ve heard of; we like to call it…. indoctrination :D

When: Friday, October 26 from 4pm to 8pm
Where: 47B W 3rd St, Eureka [map]
Cost: Free!

It’s the 3rd Sunday of the month, so it’s time to meet-up in the Arcata Plaza at 5:30pm. If it’s raining, head for the Jacoby Storehouse, otherwise, lets congregate on the east side (towards the Outdoor Store) of the Plaza.

This is the time/place when we work on upcoming shows, bring ideas for cool arts/music/skillshare ideas and just hang out with other people in the scene.

It’s time for another All Volunteers Meeting. Everyone is welcome to come on down to The Placebo, 47B West 3rd St in Eureka and help organize shows and other events like workshops, hang-out space, Punk Picnic, Bummerfest, and Nerdapalooza. Find out how to get in on planning the good stuff!

Halfway through your tax return, you realize, wasn’t there at least one thing I was looking forward to today? O yes, The Placebo volunteer meeting! There I can talk about making cool events like rock shows and workshops on sound equipment happen! There I can hang out with a lot of cool people and have my say in a democratically run organization! There I can catch a ride to Arcata to see The Pharmacy play at The Green House! That’s what I was going to do!

Where: The Placebo, 47B West 3rd, Eureka (1/2 block from the new Co-op, enter via the alley between 3rd & 4th)
