San Francisco refugees show art in desert

This run-of-the-mill piece in the Desert Trail, a small-town newspaper for the Morongo Basin region of the Mojave Desert, highlights this weekend's annual art festival. Hidden in the small print are the names of two San Franciscans who emigrated to the desert several years ago, Debora Iyall -- former lead singer for the San Francisco 1980s punk band Romeo Void -- and Perry Hoffman, whose guest house is available for short-term lodgers. Good excuse to go down there, now that it's no longer 100 degrees every day.
