We should be having some relatively warm — yet sane — weather here on the coast this weekend, which is good for any of you festival goers, but if that's not enough for you, head over to Blue Lake, where it will be a few degrees warmer. Local blues band the Lost Dogs are on around 6 p.m. and playing for free. In Arcata, Humboldt's favorite Beatles tribute band Silver Hammer makes a rare appearance at Humboldt Brews. Hey, Humboldt State University students, haven't seen this band yet? Check 'em out tonight — you'll recognize more songs than you imagined. They'll be on around 9:30 p.m. and are only asking for $5 to get in for this show. While you're sleeping through your morning class, you'll be glad you caught these local heroes.
