100 Watt Mind @ Ashland Armory (January 9, 2015)
I have seen 100 Watt Mind at the Ashland Armory a couple times before. This show really blew the other ones away.

Patrimony @ Ashland Armory (1/9/15)
@LiveAtTheArmory @Patrimony1
As previously mentioned, there was a fabulous show at the Ashland Armory this past Friday night. I missed Boomrang Kids and the first half of the Patrimony set due to the SOU basketball games.
The Ashland Armory is a splendid venue these days thanks to the renovations and management of Live at the Armory. The crowd size for this event was perfect. There was space to move even with a fair amount of people. I’ve been to shows with too few people and too many people, but this one Goldilocks would have liked because it was “just right”.

Photos of Buckle Rash and 100 Watt Mind from this evening coming soon…

Some of you may have found your way here through the link on souraiders.com. I have had several people email me asking questions about buying prints or about finding all of my photos for a certain sport.
The photos I post here are a small fraction of the photos I actually have. If you would like to print any of the photos on this blog, you are welcome to do so at no charge. Be sure to click on the photo to get to the higher resolution size which will print with more quality. If you want to use them on the web (Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, etc.), you are welcome to do so if you link back to traveljapanblog.com/ashland with the photo or link back to the URL with source of the photo.
If you would like me to search through all of my photos and send you photos of the particular athlete you are looking for I charge a reasonable fee for the time it takes me to find all of those photos and to process them for you. I do not normally sell prints. I email you the high quality electronic files in .jpg format, and you can do the printing and framing yourself through a local or online service. You can also make photo books or do whatever you like with the pictures. My email is on this page.

@SOUWomensSoccer @SOURaiders @SOUWrestling
From the press release:
“Beginning in fall 2015, SOU will feature a men’s soccer team that will compete in the CCC and a women’s wrestling team to go along with the perennial power of a men’s squad.
SOU will join 198 other schools in the NAIA that already have men’s soccer. The eight-team CCC men’s soccer circuit hasn’t added a new member since Oregon Tech formed its program prior to the 2008 season, but will welcome the Raiders and Eastern Oregon’s start-up program in 2015.
“The women’s wrestling team will compete in the same tournaments as the men against women competitors from other colleges,” [Matt] Sayre said. “Women’s wrestling is a growing sport with more than 1,000 high school participants on the West Coast alone. This will be a great benefit to our University.””
