The last few days have felt like a game of peek-a-boo with the rain, walking out of venues to fresh puddles but managing to avoid any significant wetness. This trend has decidedly ended today, and it looks like an umbrella will be the must have accessory into the start of next week. I won’t let the rain stop me from trekking out to the Hotel Cafe for several momentous occasions including new music celebrations with Katelyn Tarver and Morgxn as well as the first (of what feels like more) Kongregation events hosted the spiritual outlaw himself, Kong.
