Friday, June 19 - Saturday, July 4, 2015

Sorry for missing a week. The Hi-Desert Star changed our deadlines. We now have to get things in a week and a day before publication. That might not sound like much but many of the beautiful creative people in Joshua Tree produce events on the fly - rather last minute - so I won't be able to include as many of their lovely events in the paper as I did before.

ALSO, they've moved all the columnists to the CLASSIFIED section, which I think I always threw away before, so I'm not sure 1. anyone knows we were moved there, and/or 2. anyone is reading us anymore.

Hi-Desert Star columnists being driven out of the main paper
into the Classified Section. (Could I be any more dramatic?)
That all said, here's what's going on in the next week. Please check back as I will slip things in as I am noticed by the event producers.
