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!
If you need a ride from Arcata, show up for the carpool at Sacred Grounds at 5pm.
Mucho thanks to everyone who showed up tonight. You totally convinced the Eureka City Council that the 47 West Third community deserves to exist. The Times-Standard wrote, “…the council received a roomfull of applause when they voted to waive a permit fee for Synapsis, The Placebo and Empire Squared, all part of the Ink People Center for the Arts.” Oh, Yeah
We still need to raise money, but now the funds can go to improving our space and getting us open ASAP. We’ll be having some fundraiser shows coming up to help with that. Bands! Wanna play a benefit? Let us know.
In other news, Bummerfest planning has started. The next meeting is today (Wednesday) at 6:30 in Arcata at Redwood Yogurt. We’ll alternate between Arcata and Eureka, so you can participate even if you can’t get a ride over the safety corridor. (Psst. Go to our forums to see the themes people have suggested; register and you can vote for your favorite.)
THANKS AGAIN EVERYBODY!!!
Tomorrow (Tuesday) 6:30pm, the Eureka City Council is going to decide whether or not to allow The Placebo, Synapsis, and E2 to apply for a Permit to keep our space opening without having to pay $2000.00 first. That’s right, normally we’d have to pay 2 Grand to even *apply* for a permit. Ouch.
The City has been pretty supportive of our efforts to re-open so far, but this is a *really* important step. So if you wanna see more All-Ages Placebo shows, come show your support for us at the City Council meeting!
Where: 2nd floor of Eureka City Hall, 531 “K” Street, Eureka (between 5th & 6th)
When: Tuesday, May 15 at 6:30pm
– Car pool leaving from Sacred Grounds in Arcata at 6pm
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)

Everybody is welcome to drop in to the Placebo All-Volunteers meeting, Sunday April 1st (yeah, yeah, no fooling) at 5:30pm. We’ll be setting up upcoming shows and skillshares as well as getting updates on Punk Prom.
