@SOURaiders @SOU_Football @racetodaytona
A similar scene to today’s photo will happen not in 9 days but in a mere 5 days. If you’d like to help the team get to Daytona, or if you’d like to ride on the flight with them, see this article for details.

Today’s photo is from, perhaps, the final performance of Sylent Storm.
Sylent Storm
Saturday night (11/15/14) will likely be Sylent Storm’s final performance. The show is at Musichead. Insanity’s Reign goes on at 6:30, followed by Sylent Storm, and then Unleash the Archers will wrap up the evening.
St. Helens High School volleyball – Taylor Albertson
Congratulations to St. Helens High School for winning the 2014 5A Oregon State Volleyball Title today. Ashland High School lost to St. Helens just last week when I took this photo. Taylor Albertson was the star on that night for St. Helens, and the same was true today. She had 26 kills and 8 blocks in just four sets today. Her stats were probably similar against Ashland.
Some things to consider…
What if all of Ashland’s wins in tournaments had counted instead of just all of their losses? What if the state rankings were done based on complete data? What if Ashland’s wins against higher ranked teams meant something in the rankings? Instead, Ashland was stuck with a poor seed which meant the Grizzlies had to play the eventual state champion on the road in the single-elimination round of 16.
Ashland beat (on the road) teams that eventually came in 3rd, 4th, and 6th in the state. Ashland also beat Crater at home (and Crater will end up with a Top 8 ranking). Ashland never played the teams that came in 2nd and 5th.
So maybe Ashland would have finished near the top had they been given a fairer chance. Oh well; there’s always next year.
Pilot Rock from Soda Mountain
Today’s photo shows a different side of Pilot Rock. The view of Pilot Rock from Ashland or I-5 heading north from California are the more common vantage points. Today’s photo is from the east. We hiked a few miles from the Hobart Peak trail head on Soda Mountain Road to the Soda Mountain lookout last month. There is also a 9-mile trail on the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) from near this location to Pilot Rock.
Sylent Storm’s James Lind and his apprentice @ Musichead
This all ages show starts at 6 p.m. (10/3/14)
Atriarch’s Joe @ Portland’s Roseland Theater (11/23/13)
@RelapseRecords @EarsplitPR @YourLastRites
October 27 is the big day. I heard a rumor that they will soon be playing their first show in Southern Oregon in three years. I hope it is true.
Jym Harris of Sylent Storm
Big metal show in Medford tonight (9/25/14). Although From Hell‘s album was made by members (or former members) of groups like Death Angel, Testament, Slayer, Forbidden, and Nevermore, the lineup tonight will feature George Anderson on vocals but none of the other studio members.
