Mornin', Chico!
Are you feeling weird yet? If not, just take in this week's feature
package for a good dose of the strange, the bizarre, the wonderfully
eclectic people and collectives who make Chico such a special place to
live. This is all gearing up for the second installment of the Keep
Chico Weird Talent Show, Jan. 31 at the El Rey. So, weird up!
Also on tap: We look into the bizarre string of events that got a Chico
man on the FBI's radar and included in an ACLU lawsuit against the feds
(hint: it might have to do with his religion); the City Council is set
to reconsider annexation; and a Chico State grad makes clothing out of hemp.
Keep it weird, Chico!
