I’ve mentioned before how the Rogue Valley previously was a regular stop for bands traveling between Seattle or Portland and San Francisco. Now bands frequently take an off day between those dates, or they make the entire 10+ hour trek and play those cities on back-to-back days. This August 25 Anthrax is going old school and making the stop. Better than playing at the Medford Armory, they will be at the Ashland Armory! Tickets are on sale here. I’m guessing that you can buy tickets at the usual places (Music Coop in Ashland or Musichead in Medford–call first to make sure they are selling them) to avoid the online service charge.

More Anthrax photos here.

Zepparella at Howiee’s on Front Street (Medford, Oregon) setlist 5/10/18

Actual setlist was a bit different (at the end) than the one above. Clementine broke her snare after The Ocean so they took a break to fix it. When they came back they played Kashmir, When the Levee Breaks, and Whole Lotta Love.

If April showers bring May flowers, what do April snows bring?

We went for a hike on Wagner Butte on Saturday, expecting rain but receiving snow. Snow, instead of rain, was far more comfortable on this 10-mile hiking adventure.

I’ve done this trail before in sunny weather. Directions can be found here. Note that the bullet-ridden sign (top image in link) is no longer there so don’t be looking for it.

My random, desktop image of the day comes from a hike I took just over two years ago. I nearly died that day. Good memories.

My random, desktop image of the day is this one from a little over two years ago.

If the trees look fuzzy in today’s photo, it’s because it was raining (despite the blue sky in the background).
