LOCAL POP-UPS

COMING SOON TO A SPACE NEAR YOU

Much Ado and [your busi­ness here] in the same place? at the same time? What is this? a crossover episode?

It could be!

We reg­u­lar­ly team up with local hi-dez busi­ness­es and orga­ni­za­tions — the Twen­ty­nine Palms cer­ti­fied farm­ers mar­ket, Yuc­ca Val­ley Mate­ri­als Lab, and High Desert Test Sites, for recent exam­ples — and we’re eager to do so with yours, too.

If your busi­ness or organization’s got a spe­cial event on the hori­zon — or any oth­er rea­son you have in mind — SEND US AN EMAIL with details.

Oth­er­wise, present­ly, we have a stand­ing arrange­ment with MÁS O MENOS — one of the high desert’s pre­mier bars and cafés — Sun­days, 5–9PM, along­side local artists, bands, and oth­er per­form­ers, where we serve the menu post­ed below.
