01 / The invitation
Come for the
strange. Stay
for the stories.
Somewhere between the hot springs and the stars, a small town gets gloriously weird. Spend a day with desert makers, tall-tale tellers, musicians, filmmakers, and fellow seekers.
“The desert keeps
its own calendar.”
02 / Field notes
Three days of odd delights
From Friday night to Sunday evening,
there is plenty to discover.
