LOWDOWN Monday, Sept. 19: Well, You Could Play Mario Kart in an Arcata Bar

Your Humboldt week starts off slow zoomily if you deem your thumbs deft enough to pilot Princess Toadstool through some hairpin turns in Moo Moo Meadows while a room full of imbibers heckle you on. Whee!

Yes, Richard’s Goat Tavern is hosting a Mario Kart competition which will be played out on the big screen in its Miniplex this Monday night. How will this work? We will defer to some seemingly official dude who posted a comment on the event’s associated Facebook page

Sure! How could that not be great? And now, below, YouTube explains how to play the Mario Kart drinking game, which may come in handy at this thing. Additional Monday night events less pleasing to millenials in your Lowdown listings farther down. Race on! —Andrew Goff
