Monday's Lowdown: They're Talking About Your Mom in Arcata

You had all Easter to sober up after Saturday’s Humboldt Homebrew Festival. Hopefully, you’ve got your fightin’ strength back because, dammit, some jive turkeys are talkin’ mad junk about your mother’s physical appearance Monday at HumBrews. Since we live in a body positive community here in Humboldt, hopefully you hit the dance floor to defend her honor and beauty against the crude funksters in Yo Mama’s Big Fat Booty Band. To prepare for your boogie battle, preview their aural arsenal below.
