Nancy Drew and the Case of the Broken Voice Box

“Nancy! Come quick. There’s trouble on the University of Oregon campus!” Noah exclaimed. His brow was furrowed, he looked concerned.

“Oh my goodness!” Nancy yelped.

“I biked all the way back to the Campbell Club after leaving the Dance-Off just to tell you about it, since you’re such a super mystery-solver,” added Scot, Editor-in-Chief of the Oregon Voice. He was exasperated.

Nancy Drew’s blue eyes twinkled. “Tell me the details!” she urged them.

The two boys explained to Nancy that there had been a Dance-Off between the Oregon Voice and Ethos Magazine that night. On his way home after celebrating a glorious victory, Noah had come to find that the Voice distribution box near the library had been broken.

“It was fully intact when I left work at the library this afternoon,” Scot related.

“Let’s not be hasty,” Nancy insisted. “After all, while it seems we have an idea of exactly the kind of person who would do such a thing, we can never be sure.”

The boys agreed. Alas, Nancy had another case to solve, and she would not rest until she brought the culprits to justice.

Until the next chapter… I leave you all with this image of a very sad Noah the next morning when we scoped the scene in the daylight…

After their performance with Built to Spill and Disco Doom at the WOW Hall back in November, our friends Finn Riggins took the time to say hello to us from the depths of the women’s bathroom. Why? We don’t know… it just made sense at the time.

Natalie Portman’s Shaved Head: “Oregon Voice > Oregon Trail”

Prior to their free concert hosted by the University of Oregon Cultural Forum on October 30th, Natalie Portman’s Shaved Head took a few minutes out of their day to tell the Oregon Voice just how much they love us. We love them equally. They, of course, put on a fantastic show with Hockey and Eugene’s own, DJ Chilly Willy.


WOW Wu-Banger Yields Yet Another ‘Sup From Ghostface Killah

Video ’sup from Monotonix

Just one of many moments that were captured on the OV road trip to Portland for MusicFest Northwest.

The picture quality came out pretty wirey, but I did take liberties with showing off my hebrew skillz (we’ll see about that).

Until next time, shalom! And a quick ‘hello’ from Ami Shalev of Monotonix.
