SATURDAY LOWDOWN: You're On Your Own

FYI: The vast majority of the events submitted to the Lowdown are done so by the eager Humboldt event planners hoping to seduce you to their fun gathering. LoCO is going to venture a guess that, with all the coronavirus madness, these people have had a really shitty week. So, while we've attempted to field and publicize event cancellations as they've been flying at us, there are bound to be plenty of events in the Lowdown below that are no longer happening.

Use your noggin. Cut your community some slack. Be your own joy. -AG
