It's a busy night in Arcata with a few shows to get through, so I'll take a deep breath and hey-ho let's go. First off at 7 p.m. at the Outer Space Eureka rock acts Leone and The Tweeners meet up with Arcata's palm tree pop band The Apollo Era for an early all-ages gig valued at $5.

Over at the Miniplex at 9 p.m. musical puppeteer David Liebe Hart returns to town to toss out outer limit laughs with local comedy coevals Dr. Foxmeat, Evan Vest, Joshua Barnes and Matt Redbeard. ($12/$10 advance).

At the same time at Humbrews, there is a collaboration between Hollow Down and local open mic collective Word Humboldt. ($5). Join DJ Goldylocks and various spoken word artists for an open mic recital that will morph into a rock show at a time indeterminant.

And, finally, at 11 p.m. The Alibi has a free show going down on the dark side of the bar with Portland's all homogametic hard rock act Blackwater Holylight. Come on out.
