Musician, model, dancer, artist and fashion inventress Lilith, spotted in Old Town, says she “tries to do something different every day.” And she’s not afraid to be outrageous — open toe shoes in January!

Short and Sweet
Movies keep getting longer. Nobody blinks at a 3-hour tour of Middle Earth or Wall Street anymore. Even kids’ movies are epic length, and yet theater seats aren’t any comfier and the drinks at the concessions stands keep growing — a recipe for discomfort and/or disaster. What relief to see the art of short filmmaking […]

Puffery
Let’s talk about your last chicken pot pie. Was it frozen? Be honest. It’s not your fault — those Stouffer’s commercials make their sandy-crusted flying saucers seem like a homecoming, with the family around the table, the rising steam … They never show the lonely person peering into the oven window or the tragic tongue-burn […]

The C-word
Lonnie Bruhn is one funny cripple. He uses that particular c-word shortly after he’s clambered onstage with his cane and/or walker. You’ll get over it.

Eye of the Tiger

Meet Our New Dogs
Why hello, there! Who’s a rare and largely unstudied South American predator? You are! Don’t bother trying to keep your composure. A pair of bush dog brothers, Mato and Perrito, just moved into the Sequoia Park Zoo. Fewer than 10 American zoos have them, so they’re kind of a big deal. Small (11-18 pounds) and […]

A Very Good Year
As we launch into 2014, the Humboldt County Library, unconvinced by all that “out with the old” talk, looks back at “1939: Hollywood’s Golden Year.” That year the planets, stars and studios aligned to produce a crazy number of great films — too many for one month. All this month, visit the Eureka branch library […]

Hum Plate

Sorry. Here are some of the delights that await you when you return to the pleasures of eating. (You’ll be […]

Tri-tip Tumult
Many mourn the closure of Porter Street Barbecue in Arcata. The anger stage of our collective grief focused on the local attorney who has become the Voldemort of Humboldt County. Are we ready to celebrate the remaining Eureka branch of Porter Street (605 Broadway)? Blind Justice can still smell the smoke funneling up from the […]
