Peg Leg Smith Liar’s Contest Since 1916 To Date Who Thomas Long Smith, miner, horse thief, Indian fighter, and notorious liar. Google him for details or YouTube for videos. What A 100 plus year old event, a perpetuation of prevarication, where participants at the event manufacture the truth or a lie about a real person, Thomas Long Smith, aka Peg Leg Smith, who allegedly found, then lost, a gold mine in the Borrego Valley back in the mid-1800’s. He existed. The mine is what is in question. Why Must be fun. It’s been held here in the Valley nearly every year, give or take a few world wars and related interferences……since 1916. Rules None. Just make up a lie about him, or not even him—most anything—that is interesting, logical, entertaining, relatively short (10 minutes or less). If it is good and you just show up and lie, you will receive a trophy (recycled) and a nice certificate good enough to frame. Pulled pork sandwiches, baked beans, coleslaw, and dessert are available from 5-6:30 p.m. for $12.

“I started writing these songs as a joke,” she says. “But over time I realized – they weren’t completely jokes. And suddenly, they were the only songs I was writing that felt real.” Across 14 tracks – each one a diary entry of sorts – "The Diary of Elon Lust" dissects modern masculinity through playful, uncomfortable, occasionally absurd vignettes that blend humor and social commentary with deeply personal truth. The songs are bolder. The lyrics are sharper. The satire is pointed – but never preachy.
