It's the last day of the Redwood Run — the North Coast's big motorcycle meet and variety show — and this year the fest comes at the end of the summer and much farther north of its usual SoHum setting, in Blue Lake to be precise. There are carny-influenced circus acts and daredevil. The musical acts include Everlast, local metal journeymen Dead Man's Tale and a bluesy band fronted by the former Peg Bundy and matriarch of the fictional biker gang SAMCRO on TV's Sons of Anarchy (but someone who will forever live in my heart as Turanga Leela from the excellent Futurama) Katey Sagal. Day passes start at $75 with package deals for the entire weekend but if you want a tip on a fun auxiliary event, I suggest you head over to the Logger Bar at 8 p.m., where there will be a wet tighty-whitey contest reserved for the bravest of bikers. How wet and how unblemished will these bikers' briefs be? Choke down your trepidation and come find out.
