Hmm. Wow. Pertaining to this Humboldt Friday, we would like to highlight the sentiments of LoCO Fun Committee member Jessica McGuinty below since it matches ours exactly:
"Ok, ok, I see how it is. It’s one of those “We’re trying to show off to those people who say there’s nothing to do here” nights, is it? Jeez, Humboldt. Why you gotta cram everything into one night?! Figure it out yourself, my head just exploded." -JM
