Monday Lowdown: Guitar, Guffaws, God (VIDEO)

Oh, man. Would you look at that? Sunday's downpour hath given way to glorious Monday sunshine. Do we even deserve this?

Either way, LoCO is feeling good about life and, hey, maybe we'll just head down to The Siren's Song Tavern to watch Bryan McPherson muster up as much fire as one man and a guitar can reasonably be expected (see video below). Local indie folk band No Pardon is opening that thing. Should be swell.

Or, I dunno, maybe we'll roll up to the Clam Beach Inn where Savage Henry Magazine is hosting a night of standup headlined by David Gborie. As evidenced by previous times he's performed here (and the video below) he's rather humorous. Also swell.

Or who knows?! Maybe we'll head up to the Kate Buchanan Room to watch New York Times religion correspondent Laurie Goodstein who, according to event promo, will be giving a "talk about the challenge of staying neutral as a reporter on such contentious issues." Why try, Laurie?! Tell God what you really think about it! It feels swell! 

Anyway, yeah, lots of stuff going on in HumCo this Sun-Monday. Ooo! Even more things in your Lowdown listings below. --Andrew Goff
