The Placebo

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.

What: All Volunteers Meeting (everyone welcome and encouraged to show up)
When: Sunday, October 21, 5:30pm
Where: Arcata Plaza if clear, Jacoby Storehouse outside Bon Boniere if pouring

If you want it to be, then you really need to come to this All Volunteers meeting:
5:30 Sunday, October 7 at The Placebo, 47W3rd Eureka

Stuff to talk about:

• Shows! Let’s bloody well have some, eh?
• Making money for the renovations
• T-shirts (we have silk screening equipment now) & other merch
• October 16th Eureka High School tabling
• October 20th E2/Placebo/Synapsis meet
• and generally getting our shit together (for fun and non-profit!)

If you need a ride from Arcata, email gimme_info at theplacebo dot net or leave a message at 667-9421

== the Placebo is all volunteer run - it’s whatever you make it! ==
