Inocente in Ashland
Last night we watched the 2012 short documentary, “Inocente” by Sean Fine and Andrea Nix Fine. I met Inocente at the Ashland Independent Film Festival last month so seeing the film, finally, had extra meaning. Inocente won the 2013 Oscar for best short documentary.
This photo was taken at Illahe Gallery in Ashland’s railroad district.

Alex Huddleston and Nick Courtney of Gladius @ Musichead
Next up after Negative-Zen was Gladius from Portland.

Alex Miletich and Ryan Mitchell of Gladius
These guys finished with an excellent cover of Helloween’s “Ride The Sky” which I was into in high school (but probably haven’t listened to in almost two decades) before any of the members of Gladius were even born. Does that make me old or the music timeless? Or both?

Last night there was a Cinco de Mayo Metal Show in Medford with Cauldron (from Canada), Gladius (Portland) & Negative-Zen (also Portland). Sunday night isn’t the best night for a show, but Musichead shows usually end before 10 p.m. so I headed up I-5 to check it out.

First up was Negative-Zen. The thing that looks like a sharks fin in the foreground of the left part of the above photo was actually the mohawk of the person standing in front of me.
