Del-Slackers @ Vic On The Park, 6th Jan

“If I promise that I’m not using “infectious” as a pandemic pun, are you cool with me calling Del-Slackers infectious? To be honest, I don’t really care and I suspect neither do they.

Major Arcana @ Wayward’s, 10th Dec

The Black Cardinals @ Frankie’s, 5th Dec
