Big thanks to everyone for a super-fun 2012 Best Of Humboldt Party last Friday -- from the ticket/T-shirt printers and sellers (Scrappers Edge, Blackjack, The Works, Missing Link Records) to the broom-wielding cleanup crew (Eureka Theater volunteers and Journal staffers).

In between tickets and brooms was a night of great music (Huckleberry Flint, The Trouble, Missing Link's Matt n' Adam, and soundman Tim Jarrells), good food (Rita's, Paul's Live From New York, Pho Thien Long, Six Rivers Brewery), and awesome libations (Amy Stewart-designed signature Journal cocktail, plus local brews and wine).

Congratulations to all the Best of Humboldt winners!
