This Humboldt Friday features some fine musical offerings in SoHum (see the annual Halloween Boogie at the Mateel Community Center) and NoHum (Scott Pemberton is scheduled for some roof-tearing down at HumBrews, see above). But those in search of freaky should set coordinates for Eureka.
To be clear, there’s a couple kinds of freaky goin’ on. First, there is “traditional freaky” in the form of the continuing Haunted Mill Tour (the Lowdown hears good things). Then there’s the freaky your mama warned you about in the form of Fetish Night at The Siren’s Song Tavern, a space for local BDSM enthusiasts to spank each other silly. You can spank too, but only after you learn to do it correctly (there will be a demonstration).
