-not sure what I'll be playing for this or when it'll be happening - but stay posted if yr interested-

ABOUT WHAT I'LL BE PLAYING

It's definitely the most psychedelic of the four different season sets and is largely inspired by my brother's work.  We'll be starting from that cross section of the mobius strip and climbing up from that void to fall right back down the rabbit hole like sisyphus - shit gets pretty dark down there - but HEY: look where we're heading  <3

much love,

Mike
