Tonight Southern Oregon University’s men’s and women’s basketball teams face arch-rival OIT at home. If you plan to go, get there early as it will probably be standing room only by the time the men’s game begins @ 7:30.

Ashland’s Plaza before the face lift

The plaza in Downtown Ashland was once covered in trees. Right now there is nothing but a big mud hole. Apparently, one of the trees was diseased and another had some sort of future problem. So nearly everything has been ripped out, and a new plaza will be emerging in the next few months. Things are supposed to look good again by the end of March.

Today’s photo is of the last glimpse of one of the now gone trees. This tree was the last one in town to retain its autumn leaves–well into December.

Wrong season, I know, but my random, desktop image of the day was this one, and I thought it looked pretty cool.

Remember what early June looks like?

This field on East Main Street in Ashland isn’t much to took at this time of year. However, in May and early June the grass grows long so someone cuts a path through it for the kids walking to school at Willow Wind.

Sideshow Project from Grants Pass @ Club 66 in Ashland, Oregon

I went to my first show at the new Club 66 last night. My take is that Club 66 is the best venue for live music in Southern Oregon, period. The sound, lighting, and stage are all superior to other live houses in Ashland, Medford, and Grants Pass. If you ever went to Stillwater and found it to be too dark and/or too difficult to get near or see the stage, you’ll want to see the improvements that have been made to the Club 66 version of the place.

As you can tell, the members of Sideshow Project rotated instruments and vocal duties like they were playing musical chairs.
