Hillstomp @ The Rogue Theatre (November 4, 2022)

Almost exactly one year since their last performance in the Rogue Theatre, Hillstomp returned this past Friday evening. Fortunately, they brought some of their own lighting (as the stage lighting in the Rogue Theatre is really bad–I wish bands wouldn’t use the house red lights as they don’t look good or photograph well).

Speaking of poor lighting, the exterior of the Rogue Theatre used to be the highlight of a nighttime drive through Grants Pass. Now it looks pretty neglected.

Mt. Shasta (California) from Grizzly Peak (Oregon) – July 6, 2022

Last week we did the Grizzly Peak hike for probably about the 30th time. Thanks to lots of late spring rain (and some rain in the past few weeks during summer too), I’ve never seen it so green up there (and with so many wildflowers).

I’ve been to Britt countless times over the past 22 years for a wide variety of performances and activities, but this was the first time I’ve gone for what Britt was created for way back in 1963–classical music. The Britt Festival Orchestra (BFO) is in its 60th year.
