Derek Smalls (aka Harry Shearer) rocks Ashland
The Ashland Independent Film Festival began tonight. I’ve actually never attended before, but I’m a big Spinal Tap fan so I couldn’t miss the discussion with Harry Shearer. It was freezing and snowing when I arrived so rather than wait in line I waited in the car for the doors to open. Regardless of the fact that I was one of the last people in, I was still able to grab a seat in the front row (hence the picture without someone’s head in the way), although way over on the edge.
Harry spoke of his career, including Spinal Tap and Saturday Night Live. He also channeled Mr. Burns by request during the Q&A.
Nathan Stein & Hillel
The act in yesterday’s photo was called “Nathan Stein & Hillel: A fool’s feast of balls, balloons, magic and madness.” While today’s photo isn’t a very good one of their performance, I like it for the expressions on the audience’s faces.
Deftones at the Medford Armory
Normally I post concert pics and video on my other blog, but I think I will post local shows here from now on. Actually, I posted Floater here as well.
Few bands come through Southern Oregon, given the small population, but last night the Deftones made their first appearance. The crowd at the Medford Armory was not as large as it was for Black Label Society or Static-X, but they are about the only two bands who never miss the area so it makes sense that they have built up a strong fan base here.
More photos and HD video will be coming soon. For now, I’ll leave you with a video I took of the song “My Own Summer.” Even though cameras were “not allowed” you can see that the rules were not enforced. The two large guys that walk in front of the video (from left to right at 3:16) near the end are actually security guards.
Ashland Springs Hotel Weddings
At last year’s 4th of July parade the Ashland Springs Hotel had a “Then and Now” wedding theme for their parade entry.
Ashland Halloween Parade on the Plaza
This photo is from the 2008 parade. If you get tired of looking at costumes you can always check out the fall foliage. For some of my 2009 Halloween photos (not of Ashland since I’m living in Tokyo for the year) click here.
All things Ashland
This picture has so many Ashlandish things in it, from the Ashland Drug Store to the OSF heraldic banners, from the vampires to the psycho pushing a stroller. It’s all here.
