The event's promoter has attracted controversy in a local turf war, so she already has some enemies in the local community.

Arcata is home to Humboldt State Univ., snuggled in the foot hills of the Redwoods. Our coastal, rural county voted 60/40 against Prop 8 and 62/34 for Obama. HSU is the heart of our community, making the locals relatively tolerant and understanding. The motto "You don't mess with me, i won't mess with you" works fine. http://co.humboldt.ca.us/election/results/2008/1104final_report.htm Humboldt County residents typically enjoy and share a "live and let live" attitude with his/her neighbors.

Wonder if he will show up...he likes hate, there's plenty of hate at one of those meetings. He should be not be tolerated any more than the Klan should be at any location for public consumption. If Humbolt lets Banton in does this mean they approve? Is his musical message about gay people and infringement of his personal free speech rights? I wonder if he sung Boom Bye Bye there would be a negative public reaction to it? I would hope the onlookers would boo him to the point where he left the stage. But violence begets violence and many innocent people could get hurt in the process, and his message is explosive, which is totally not what Humbolt is about. To me this isn't anything different than that Poll last week about Obama that got ripped down. I think the organizers have the right to have who they want to be at their festival. I say send him home. We don't need anymore hate, we really need to go in the opposite direction. Understanding, Education, Community, and Cooperation.
