The high desert is the closest thing we've got to a land of enchantment, just about 130 miles away from Los Angeles, where Joshua Tree National Park meditates in awesome glory. Here are strange plants—that seem like undersea creatures with the water sucked out of them—their hardened contorted shapes pepper the dry landscape, surrounding big rock piles left over from Jenga games abandoned by celestial giants. The horizon is visible in any direction, stretching everything in sight. You can't help but feel good and enlightened in this place. So we're going. Join The Deli L.A. + L.A. RECORD for a Desert Weekend. See He's My Brother She's My Sister, Amanda Jo Williams, and Tommy Santee Klaws play at infamous desert honky tonk Pappy and Harriet's Pioneertown Palace. Then wake up for desert soccer before doing brunch at Joshua Tree Saloon, with Mia Doi Todd, The Driftwood Singers, and Emily Lacy. The New L.A. Folk Festival began in August 2010, to begin unifying the new folk scene emerging in Los Angeles and continues to maximize the desert experience.
