It’s Halloween Jr., and the last Friday the 13th of this year, in the void shadow of a new moon, no less. There are so many shows happening tonight, so I’m going to snag a few and give you the most basic info because, like the Allman Brothers song goes, I “Ain’t Wastin’ Time No More.” At 8 p.m. the Arcata Playhouse is the rendezvous to see bluegrass pioneer Laurie Lewis and her band The Right Hands ($18, $16 for Playhouse members). An hour later brings you three more show options: Reggae masters Kabaka Pyramid at the Arcata Theatre Lounge ($30, $25 advance). Wild and caustic comedian Eddie Pepitone at Savage Henry Comedy Club ($20). And finally, the Miniplex is hosting a Los Angeles synth goth expo, with headlining group RIKI presenting tourmates Dream_Mega, with local DJ Satanica spinning in the main bar room all night ($15). Got it? Good.
