Lots of ways to celebrate tonight, but I’m going to suggest something far-out, as in
geographically. Dig this: In Shelter Cove, about as south west as you can go in Humco without a boat, is a fun joint called Mario’s Marino Bar, where at 8 p.m. DJ Alan Espinosa will be serving up sonic teasers in anticipation of the night’s main score at 10 p.m., the finest cumbia band in our county or any latitude, the mighty Makenu, doing what they do so damn well. Namely, makin’ it so that you can be shakin’ it, and $20 is a steal for a great band in a lovely outcrop of our homeland.
