“So Long” was actually replaced with a cover of Neil Young’s “Down By The River”.

Today is April 12, which means the Ashland Independent Film Festival of 2016 is now only a memory.
You can view a list of award-winning films here. “The Birth of Sake” received an honorable mention. A couple of my other favorites (“Thunder Road” and “Embers”) didn’t receive any awards, which just goes to show you how high the quality of this festival has become.
After a doubleheader sweep of the previously #1-ranked team in the state, the 10-1 Grizzlies head into Tuesday afternoon’s matchup as the new #1. Game time is 5 p.m. at North Mountain Park on 4/12/16. Ashland High’s opponent will be 11-2 Marist. The winner will take over first place in the seven-team 5A Midwestern League.

Fortunately for the Raiders, I didn’t know what I was talking about yesterday when I said they’d need help to catch the Owls. Details here.

Awards tonight, award-winning films shown tomorrow for the last time. If you are supposed to work tomorrow, it may be a good time to take a sick day.

SOU nearly took two more from OIT today. Instead, they settled for a split in Klamath Falls. These teams couldn’t be any more competitive. They have now played four times, going extra innings twice, and three of the four games have been settled by one run. The other? SOU won by just two runs.
Unfortunately for the 28-12 Raiders, they are going to need some help from other teams to catch the Owls as SOU is currently a game back in the standings, and they have no more regular season games against Oregon Tech.

My favorite of the 2016 film festival so far are the Short Stories. There are actually tickets still remaining to see these on Sunday morning.
The short films are all good or better, but the final one “Thunder Road” by Jim Cummings is one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen. I’ve never simultaneously been so sad and laughing hysterically before.
I said a final goodbye to my dying mother just days before the 2013 Ashland Independent Film Festival. She died within days of the festival ending. My father was dying during the 2014 AIFF. So I tend to get a little extra emotional during AIFF. “Thunder Road”, “Semele”, “Mother’s Day”, and “1985” (a short before “Five Nights in Maine”) all got me really good.
