Lookee here. There are many ways Humboldters can spend their Friday not at home, OK? You are worthy.
Briefly: You may notice herds of shiny motorcycles passing through Humboldt at various points this weekend. Don't be afraid. They are headed to the Riverview Ranch in Piercy for the annual Redwood Run where they will enjoy '80s rockers Great White, sunshine and exposed breasts. OK, maybe be afraid.
Still don’t understand what the hell Mary Jane is? Director John Howarth and star/write Joan Schirle recently spoke with KHUM’s Bayley Brown about their emerald baby, which you can hear below. --Andrew Goff
