We are a year and a month away from the 2016 Presidential Elections but that doesn’t seem to be preventing anyone from treating our little democracy experiment as though it were Monday Night Football.
Tonight, beer will guzzled and chicken wings will be mouth-stripped as Humboldt progs gathers to watch Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders and other alleged candidates bludgeon each other zingy platitudes during the first Democratic Presidential Debate. Yeehaw! Surely, there will be multiple venues screening the action, but the group-like entity "Northern Humboldt for Bernie" has specifically designated the Arcata Theatre Lounge as debate central. Big screen, kiddies! If you’d like a seat, it might be wise to note the fervor for this particular location on the ol’ Facebooks and show up early. Hillary fans are likely also welcome.
