Sarah Mues of FatherDoug

Today’s pics are from last Friday night. Tonight at Club 66 the audience, including me, will be treated to some traveling metal. Come on out to hear Facinorous. They are supposed to start at 8 p.m., and I hope they do as I have to wake up early tomorrow morning.

FatherDoug @ Club 66 4/5/13

I wasn’t able to stick around for Twice Born Gypsies after FatherDoug on Friday night as the show started late, and I couldn’t stay past about 11:30. Hopefully they will play Club 66 again soon, and next time it would be nice if they begin before the next day does.

Ashland has had some fantastic skies the past few days. I’m hoping these kind of skies and clouds follow me to Yosemite where I will be spending much of my spring break next week.

It may not look it from this panorama, but I nearly froze to death taking these eight photos (which were photomerged into one in CS6 later). These clouds were moving through quickly, the wind was howling, and the temperature was probably below freezing with the wind chill factor. I didn’t stick around for long to enjoy the view.

For the next few days you can head to the parking lot between Cox Hall and Omar’s and take a sledge hammer to a car.

Arlo Brooks

Northwest Pizza and Pasta Company has transformed itself under new ownership over the past year and a half. They now have an open mic night. After hours they have started having live acts as well.

I headed to Northwest last night to hear Twice Born Gypsies, a band I’d never heard of before, but the “psychedelic space rock” description sounded good. “Fuck! A Monster” was listed as the opening act on the ad I saw, but given that members are also in FatherDoug (who was playing in Medford at the same time), I figured that wouldn’t happen. Arlo Brooks, who is in Fuck! A Monster but not FatherDoug, opened. His set was a trip, and everything he used to make the sounds he created fit in his backpack.

Witch Cult @ Club 66 (2/27/13)

Witch Cult opened for Sarcalogos last week at Club 66. If you were there, no doubt you will be there on March 20 when they will open for Witchaven and Exmortus. If you weren’t there, you will have another chance.
