Hello fellow Alchemists and Confluxians: My apologies for the delay in posting this blog. Life has been a bit hectic. Missed a week after this show and am just now getting around to posting a blog, although I did put the show up a couple weeks back for the podcast.
This show is a trip to a dive bar on the dusty edge of nowhere. More of a feeling than a place….you know the feeling; you know the place.
Sit back and let the darkness envelope you as you drift into a dangerous place where strangers are sizing you up for a good way to use you, but not before you use them first.
