The Desert Fuzz house, exterior. A full-page splash of the house from the street. String lights wrapped around a saguaro in the front yard. A hand-painted sign on the door: TONIGHT — 6 BANDS — DOORS 9 — $5 OR A SIX-PACK. The yard alive with people in their twenties, all dressed in some combination of jean jackets, vintage t-shirts, denim cutoffs, cowboy boots, beat-up sneakers. A keg under a folding table. A pit-mix dog wandering between legs. Two girls smoking on the porch swing. A guy with a beard plugging a bass into the amp on the lawn. The desert sky going pink behind the rooftops. The brothers and the 2026 band at the curb, unloading. Jesse looking at the house. Dev grinning ear to ear. The musical-staff motif in the margin: the staff is alive — different small melodies and rhythms scribbled all over it, like a tour-poster background, multiple songs at once. *Allred — Standard register, contemporary Vegas, but with the Romantic register's warmth. This is the panel where the modern reader recognizes their own city.*
