NEW YEAR'S EVE LOWDOWN: Humboldt Trudges Into 2019!

 ^ Be like them

As is tradition nowadays, this is the day each year where we say, "Darn you to heck, 20(year it is)! You were bad in so many ways! Be gone, year! 20(year it is about to be), you better be a lot nicer!" This is the way people talk in this century. LoCO is people.

Great. Now scroll your Lowdown and find a place to revel and get (responsibly) blitzed. Rinse. Repeat. Hooray!
