It’s been a while, but it’s time to start up our 2x monthly meetings again. It’s the 3rd Sunday of the month, so we’ll be meeting in Arcata. We’ve got several upcoming shows to plan for, and we’ll be recapping the 2007 Annual Retreat. Curious about what’s taking so long with getting our building open again? Here’s the place to find out.
Where: Jacoby Storehouse, Arcata
When: Sunday, January 27th, 5:30 pm
== Everybody is welcome ==
Volunteer Meetings are held the 1st (in Eureka at The Placebo) and 3rd (in Arcata) Sundays of every month, at 5:30 pm.
Yes, The Placebo is indeed hosting a show this month. It’s Dungeon Master’s farewell/CD-release party and it will, needless to say, RAWK. DM and their fellow bands, the sweeties that they are, are also donating all of the door money to the Placebo. In return, we are going to waive the membership cost for this show and this show only. So come on out and see Five Bands for Three Dollars:
When: Saturday, January 26 (doors at 6:30)
Where: The Ink People, 411 12th St. Eureka (next to the Muni)
Cost: $3! (bring some extra cash for the Dungeon Master CD)
The Placebo Annual Retreat is an afternoon we take to plan for the next year, figuring out what works and what doesn’t. It’s also casual: people bring food, White Elephant gifts, and hang out in addition to getting business done.
Everyone, as usual, is welcome. Email gimme_info[at]theplacebo[dot]net or comment here with contact info filled out to get directions; If you need a ride, say where you are.
When: Friday, December 21 (Solstice)
- eating/schmoozing starts at 1pm, serious stuff at 3pm
- will end at 6pm or earlier, plenty of time for people to hit the Dragged By Horses show at Mosgo’s
Where: Samantha’s *warm* house in Manila (email for directions)
Everyone! Doesn’t this sound good?
An all ages – costume event with out-of-town bands, live art, interactive art, multidimensional film projection, wine and beer available [with ID], actors playing rock icons, cool lighting, multiple stages all happening at the Accident Gallery this Friday night.
Not only does it sound good, it’s true and the profits go straight to Synapsis, Placebo and E2. These are all ages, alcohol and drug free venues that support independent bands and art workshops.
That’s this Friday night, the 16th, at The Accident Gallery on C St. in Old Town Eureka from 8:pm to midnight. $8 at the door. The event is called The Warhol Warehouse Benefit and is based on Andy Warhol’s late 60’s “art factory” multimedia event, The Exploding Plastic Inevitable. Please come dressed in beatnik or mod; wear a tight turtleneck, tight jeans and boots. If all else fails, just dress like you would normally, er, wear black. See you Friday!
It’s the 1st Sunday in November, so we’ll be meeting in Eureka. Carpool will swing by the ex-Sacred Grounds at 5:10 pm, so be there if you want a ride from Arcata.
We’ve got new swag and an upcoming Local Bands Night to plan. Bring snacks if you got ‘em.
When: 5:30 pm, Sunday November 4th
Where: 47B W 3rd Eureka [map]
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.
