On The Cover<br />

This week’s issue is dedicated<br />

<strong>to</strong> the great outdoors <strong>in</strong><br />

the <strong>Palm</strong> Spr<strong>in</strong>gs valley area.<br />

From spectacular mounta<strong>in</strong><br />

vistas, waterfalls, natural<br />

streams, fantastic rocky gorges, and rock<br />

formations. Our clean desert air and water,<br />

giant palm trees, and an alp<strong>in</strong>e wilderness<br />

creates an atmosphere that enhances our day<strong>to</strong>-day<br />

experience all year round. The cover<br />

says “I’m a real proponent of graffiti with<strong>in</strong><br />

the community” love it or hate it, the reality<br />

is graffiti and art projects for public spaces<br />

actually serve <strong>to</strong> prevent graffiti vandalism<br />

on public property. If you have ever tagged<br />

a wall or can remember what “Killroy was<br />

here” meant or grew up next <strong>to</strong> a gigantic<br />

milk-bottle you, will get the cover (a staged<br />

pho<strong>to</strong> with Adrian and visi<strong>to</strong>r Roger.) But<br />

this issue looks at some of the usual and<br />

not so usual images, th<strong>in</strong>gs, and hikes on all<br />

levels of terra<strong>in</strong> designed for outdoor enthusiasts<br />

<strong>to</strong> experience a spectacular stay here<br />

even more fun and memorable than you can<br />

imag<strong>in</strong>e. The Discover Outdoors section<br />

beg<strong>in</strong>s on page 15.<br />

this month, and for the first time ever, residents<br />

will have four days <strong>to</strong> explore the art<br />

show, deemed one of North America’s <strong>to</strong>p<br />

100 events by Travel Magaz<strong>in</strong>e.<br />

The festival, which will run from 10 a.m. <strong>to</strong><br />

5 p.m. <strong>Jan</strong>. 26-29, will br<strong>in</strong>g <strong>to</strong>gether about<br />

250 artists from all over the U.S. and Mexico<br />

who work <strong>in</strong> every medium from textiles and<br />

jewelry, <strong>to</strong> pa<strong>in</strong>t and clay, accord<strong>in</strong>g <strong>to</strong> Josh<br />

Bonner, president and CEO of the Greater<br />

Coachella Valley Chamber of Commerce.<br />

More than 500 applications were submitted<br />

<strong>to</strong> the <strong>in</strong>dependent board that bl<strong>in</strong>dly scores<br />

and selects the artists <strong>to</strong> be featured, so Bonner<br />

ensured the event will truly feature the<br />

best of the best.<br />

The festival will be open <strong>to</strong> the public from<br />

10 a.m. <strong>to</strong> 5 p.m. on <strong>Jan</strong>. 26, 27, 28 and 29 at<br />

the Empire Polo Club.<br />

ARTIST AGAINST TRUMP<br />

The poster of President Obama that became<br />

an iconic symbol of his election with the<br />

title, “ HOPE” as the slogan, was designed<br />

by Shepard Fairey. The pho<strong>to</strong> Fairey used <strong>to</strong><br />

create the image of Obama was a pho<strong>to</strong> taken<br />

by a freelance pho<strong>to</strong>grapher who worked<br />

for the Associated Press. He created the<br />

poster <strong>in</strong> a s<strong>in</strong>gle day. The first slogan on<br />

the poster was “Progress”, which was later<br />

changed <strong>to</strong> “Hope” at the request of the<br />

Obama campaign. Fairey has designed<br />

posters for the Trump coronation, not at<br />

the request of the Trump people, but for<br />

the emphasis of all people, especially those<br />

who have been threatened by the Trump<br />

himself. Muslims, Women, Hispanics, and<br />

<strong>Gay</strong>s. Some samples of his posters for this<br />

political season are <strong>in</strong> this article<br />

Education Not Deportation,<br />

Muslim Rights are Human Rights, which<br />

can also substitue LGBT rights, Immigrant<br />

Rights, Black Rights, Women’s Rights, etc.<br />

Love not Hate Makes America Great<br />

We Reject President Elect<br />

No Trump, No KKK, No Fascist USA<br />

The People United will Never be Defeated<br />

My Body, My Choice/ Her Body Her<br />

Choice<br />

Black Lives Matter<br />

Show me what Democracy Look Like/This<br />

is What Democracy Looks Like.. This is a<br />

suggested chant for rallies that will be held<br />

after the coronation. It rem<strong>in</strong>ds those who<br />

are listen<strong>in</strong>g that democracy is mean<strong>in</strong>gless<br />

without the right <strong>to</strong> peaceful assembly. It<br />

can be done <strong>in</strong> a syncopated rhythm that<br />

gives emphasis <strong>to</strong> the importance of protest<br />

rights.<br />

We look forward <strong>to</strong> see<strong>in</strong>g what the creative<br />

LGBT community <strong>in</strong> <strong>Palm</strong> Spr<strong>in</strong>gs submits.<br />

They will be pr<strong>in</strong>ted <strong>in</strong> this article after the<br />

Trump coronation.<br />

Please send submissions <strong>to</strong> adamsartexpose@DesertDailyGuide.<br />

Questions, comments, suggestions, send <strong>to</strong><br />

adamsartexpose@gmail.com<br />

Fairey will not be design<strong>in</strong>g a poster for the<br />

Trump coronation. What would a slogan<br />

be for such a poster? “DESPAIR”,<br />

“HATE TRUMPS LOVE”. We have <strong>in</strong>vited<br />

readers of the Daily Guide <strong>to</strong> submit<br />

JERSEY’S JOURNAL by jersey Shore<br />

When I was born, I weighed about 5 pounds.<br />

I WAS a little th<strong>in</strong>g, idk what happened. I<br />

also was a miracle baby. My mother was <strong>to</strong>ld<br />

after my brother’s birth she couldn’t have<br />

kids. And on that one hot night <strong>in</strong> June, I<br />

guess my parents got a little hot under the<br />

collar, and made that special concoction<br />

called Jersey Shore. So there, laugh all you<br />

want, I was a miracle. It’s a miracle I’m still<br />

pranc<strong>in</strong>g around like I do! Just call me Miracle,<br />

but don’t call me Miracle Whip. I guess<br />

Miracle Whip won’t call me up <strong>to</strong> promote<br />

their product. Any Medical Marijuana pharmacies<br />

may reach me with a contact high or<br />

hello.<br />

We all have our vices. Th<strong>in</strong>gs we need <strong>to</strong><br />

rema<strong>in</strong> human. Whether it’s pot or pot<br />

roast. For some it’s candy and for others<br />

it’s crack. Whatever you need, whether you<br />

need it or not, whenever you need it. Good<br />

or Bad? We all have needs. In my op<strong>in</strong>ion,<br />

I th<strong>in</strong>k our biggest need is <strong>to</strong> be loved and<br />

accepted. My quick advice on that matter:<br />

Quit worry<strong>in</strong>g about be<strong>in</strong>g loved and you<br />

will eventually be loved. A positive attitude<br />

gets you everywhere. Positive <strong>in</strong>ner<br />

thoughts. Say it repeatedly. Have you caught<br />

on yet? I feel like a broken record for some. I<br />

have been meet<strong>in</strong>g people who actually read<br />

this, as you are now!<br />

The man I met <strong>in</strong> the bik<strong>in</strong>i and the beard,<br />

at Georgie’s made me realize this column<br />

is actually read, as he quoted someth<strong>in</strong>g<br />

about glittered bearded “drag queens”. So,<br />

next time you are out and about, look<strong>in</strong>g<br />

great <strong>in</strong> your bik<strong>in</strong>i, usually on a Tuesday<br />

THE LAST WORD by Greg Pettis<br />

Just leav<strong>in</strong>g the Democratic National Committee<br />

Future Forum meet<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> Phoenix.<br />

This was the first opportunity <strong>to</strong> hear from<br />

the 7 candidates for DNC chair. The election<br />

will be held <strong>in</strong> Atlanta <strong>in</strong> February.<br />

It was very <strong>in</strong>terest<strong>in</strong>g. Full bore campaigns<br />

with hosted lunches and receptions. The<br />

most important was gett<strong>in</strong>g one <strong>in</strong> one time<br />

with several of the candidates; <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g Secretary<br />

of Labor Tom Perez and Congressman<br />

Keith Ellison. 7 candidates. Of them 2 are<br />

gay, 2 are women, 2 are African American,<br />

one Lat<strong>in</strong>o and one Muslim. Quite the<br />

breadth of our nation!<br />

I was able <strong>to</strong> have face time with 4 of them<br />

and am hopeful for at least a call with the<br />

other 3 prior <strong>to</strong> my vote. This person will<br />

lead the Party for next four years. All the<br />

other positions are be<strong>in</strong>g voted on as well, but<br />

this will be the most critical.<br />

Everyone had some good ideas. We would be<br />

fortunate <strong>to</strong> have any of them <strong>in</strong> a leadership<br />

role. I must admit be<strong>in</strong>g a tad <strong>in</strong>timidated<br />

when I left the hotel suite <strong>to</strong> walk down <strong>to</strong> the<br />

conference with Secretary Perez and be<strong>in</strong>g<br />

enveloped by Secret Service!<br />

Locally this week saw lawsuits and Counter-suits<br />

be<strong>in</strong>g filed <strong>in</strong> <strong>Palm</strong> Spr<strong>in</strong>gs by various<br />

land developers and a couple au<strong>to</strong> dealers<br />

threaten<strong>in</strong>g city council members over marijuana.<br />

Sigh. Drama still lives amongst the<br />

straight folk!<br />

Wait<strong>in</strong>g <strong>to</strong> see if College of the Desert is<br />

f<strong>in</strong>ally able <strong>to</strong> take possession of the old mall<br />

for their expansion. In Cathedral City, COD<br />

is look<strong>in</strong>g at mov<strong>in</strong>g their au<strong>to</strong>motive trade<br />

school programs over. This would be a big<br />

support for our expansion<br />

What are you do<strong>in</strong>g? How was your summer?<br />

Enjoy<strong>in</strong>g the ra<strong>in</strong>? Speak<strong>in</strong>g of, no more<br />

drought!!! Northern CA is now officially out<br />

of the drought, we here <strong>in</strong> the South need one<br />

more good s<strong>to</strong>rm. It has been nice but I’m<br />

tire of be<strong>in</strong>g cold - HA!<br />

It has shown the need for needed road work.<br />

Cathedral Canyon was closed aga<strong>in</strong>. That<br />

new bridge will start construction by end of<br />

year as well as the Date <strong>Palm</strong> bridge. It will be<br />

so nice hav<strong>in</strong>g those done. Even better is they<br />

are fully funded and paid for!<br />

The 2nd annual Taste of Jalisco is com<strong>in</strong>g <strong>to</strong><br />

Cathedral City <strong>in</strong> early February. You know<br />

what means ---- Tequila! Check out www.<br />
