Little Galaxies – Summer 2014 Tour

@LittleGalaxies I’m a big fan of Portishead, and Little Galaxies has a somewhat similar vibe. Let their music wash over you here, and then come down to Club 66 tonight to experience them live.

I was in Northwest Pizza yesterday to watch the World Cup. I was wondering why all of the kids were so happy even though the USA was losing until I saw this part of the menu. 😉

You can’t save places to watch the parade before 6 a.m. on July 3. The parade begins at 10:15 a.m. (on July 4 of course) from Triangle Park.

There are no legal fireworks in Ashland (even if they are legal in other parts of the state).

There will be a fireworks display at 10 p.m. shot from the normal location on Iowa Street.

Delta Ponds (Eugene, Oregon)

I spent this past weekend in Eugene. While there, I took a walk on a lovely morning in Delta Ponds City Park. Next time I’ll have to bring a longer lens to capture some of the wildlife that is teaming in this place. If you look closely you can see some ducks in the center of today’s photograph.

SOU soccer on pre-2014 soccer field

All the world is abuzz with the World Cup currently happening in Brazil. On a more local level, SOU’s soccer team will be playing on a new field this fall. The old football turf is currently being torn out and will soon be replaced with a new, artificial surface for the football and soccer teams. In addition, we will finally be able to host track and field events again.
