What did you do on your 21st birthday? You went to a bar (among things we can discuss). What does a radio station do on its 21st birthday? Eh, see above.
Yes, your Humboldt Saturday features a boozey celebration commemorating 21 years of KHUM, "Radio Without the Rules." KHUM alum and current personalities will gather at The Jam in Arcata, count their wrinkles, and sway to the sounds of local bands The Honky Tonk Detours and Moon Pine. Because every party needs a punny drink these days, make sure you sip a special KHUMquat Martini during the affair. Why not?
