The ninth annual Emerald Cup is happening on Saturday, Dec. 15 at the Mateel Community Center.

Chali 2na is known by the masses as a founding member of the now defunct alt-hip-hop staple Jurassic 5 (J5), a frequent collaborator with the latin-tinged group Ozomatli (Ozo) and as the “verbal Herman Monster” -- his famed opening line in the J5 hit “What’s Golden.” With his staple baritone voice, he and the hip-hop-funk-soul fusion band House of Vibe will perform at the all-day shindig along with live-electro performer Irwin’s Conspiracy.

Our local university is gearing up for what looks to be a yearlong celebration.
From HSU:
HSU Looks Ahead to Centennial Celebration
Humboldt State University will soon mark its 100th year, with a full academic calendar of events and activities to celebrate the milestone.
The fun starts Aug. 24, 2013 with a Kick-Off Party the Saturday before Fall classes begin. It continues with a variety of activities across campus and in the community, as well as birthday-themed events across the country for alumni. A Centennial-themed Homecoming & Family Weekend will be Sept. 27-28, 2013, and a Founder’s Day Event is planned for April 2014.
At the May 2013 Commencement Ceremonies, the campus will recognize the Centennial Class. The next year, in May 2014, the campus will recognize the New Century Class.
“Humboldt State’s Centennial will be a wonderful opportunity to look back at all we have accomplished, and to look forward to a future filled with possibility,” says HSU President Rollin Richmond. “There is such a large community of people who care about HSU, and I hope they find a way to be a part of this celebration.”
This compilation CD is an annual fundraising opportunity with all proceeds to benefit the scholarship program at the Humboldt Music Academy (a program of Humboldt State University). This limited release CD is sure to be an unforgettable tour of the Humboldt music culture so rarely obtainable elsewhere.
Local musicians who have donated their talent include Berel Alexander, Hiway, Collective Elements, Woven Roots, Vidagua, Seabury Gould, Magic Heart Genies, Psy Fi as well as cover art by Sonny Wong. The Humboldt Music Project is sponsored by Humboldt Fire, World Wide Wong, A Fertile World, Salty’s Supply and The Works.
Additional music submissions need to be entered by November 30, 2012.
There are no genre limitations and all musicians are encouraged to submit their work. The Humboldt Music Project is looking for additional business sponsors and should contact Brandi atHumboldtmusicproject@gmail.com if interested.
Hey Sluggies! Please start collecting your unused or gently-worn jackets, pants, socks, sweaters, gloves and even underwear -- the KSLG Warm & Fuzzy Clothing Drive returns on Friday, December 7th! We broadcast live from 6am-6pm. DJ Monica Topping will host the morning shift, with DJ Myles handling 12pm-6pm.
Betty Chinn herself will stop by to oversee the donations and talk about the community's needs.
All your donations help those in need and stay in this area, they'll be distributed by Betty's Blue Angels. When you enter the Co-Op, our table will be the first thing you see. We're
looking for gently-worn jackets, pants, socks, sweaters, gloves and even underwear. "As in years past, we will take just about anything within reason. Someone wanted to donate old fishing equipment once. I thanked her, but declined," said KSLG morning host John Matthews. “Every time I see Betty Chinn I’m overwhelmed with a desire to give her an enormous hug, but I always get a little tongue-tied. I mean, here’s a person that’s hung out with POTUS and Bono,” added KSLG afternoon host Myles Cochrane. “Anytime we can help her in any way -- warm clothes, a few extra bucks -- anything, it makes a positive, humanitarian impact on our neck of the redwoods. And I can vibe with that.” [Top Photo: Betty Chinn, second from left, chillin' with Bono. Bottom photo: Warm & Fuzzy Clothing Drive circa 2009]
