Steve and Merrick wrote to us about this All-Ages show they’re putting on at the Arcata Bike Library (map):
When: Wednesday, July 19, 8pm
Where: Arcata Bike Library
Cost: $3
There’s not a lot going on at The Placebo at the moment: we’re busy moving into our new shared space and, of course, it’s the end of the school year and the beginning of traveling time.
This doesn’t mean there aren’t any all-ages shows happening, however. One extremely nifty way to find out what’s going on in (primarily) NoHum is to sign up for jASMINE’s All-Ages Events mailing list. Just email her at weekend.related.news at gmail dot com to get signed up and/or to let her know of an all-ages show you’re putting on.
As if that wasn’t enough, jASMINE also just gave The Placebo copies of a ton of photos she’s taken of The Placebo events, all the way up to this year’s Punk Prom. There are so many, that we’ve created a gallery just for her pics.
Free Comic Book Day is “a single day when participating comic book shops across North America and around the world are giving away comic books absolutely free to anyone who comes into their stores.”
Comix are cool!
Ask at the counter and get yer free comic book at one of these fine local establishments:
See ya there…
Humboldt County youth demand to be HEARD!!!
These youth invite their fellow community members to an evening of entertainment and social change. This event is hosted by members of the Humboldt State University Social Work junior class. During the course of our community collaboration project, we met with several youth groups to discuss their experiences in the community. We found that youth in our community state that they are too often perceived as either being the problem, or as having problems. They feel judged and alienated based on their outward appearance and they want their true voices heard.
In response, we are pleased to showcase a sample of the many youth performance groups here in Humboldt that use the Arts as their voice and for empowerment building. There will be something for everyone, with performances by The Raven Centers Girls Group, Al Kalima: Free the Word (Humboldt Youth Poets), SHA Hip Hop Dancers, Two Feathers Youth Drum, Zoe Barnums Comedy Crew, GRIP (Gang Resistance Intervention Program) dancers and a GRIP fashion show.
The doors will open at 5:45 on the evening of May 6, 2006 at the Van Duzer Theatre. This is a FREE event, with FREE FOOD and a PRIZE DRAWING. There will be youth-orientated informational tabling by community agencies.
The entire community is welcome to attend, so invite your family, friends and co-workers. Hopefully, by evening’s end, you will walk away with a whole new way of viewing youth.
Note: This is not a Placebo event.
The Friends of the Jackson Women’s Health Foundation will be showing excerpts from Frontline’s The Last Abortion Clinic with discussion to follow.
Where: Siemens Hall, HSU, Arcata
When: 6 pm, Wednesday March 29
Cost: FREE
Note: this is not a Placebo event, but that’s no reason not to go :)
