RFYL Episode – InceptionEP261

Run For Your Life! – the psychobilly rock show of zombie sharks
Apparently something has gone horribly wrong with old accounts of mine (not at all related to this) and I’ve been dealing with that all week.

Fortunately, nothing has impacted my music one bit and we’re still going strong-ish. There’s a convention coming up that may interfere with the final episode of the month, but I’m sure it’ll be fine. Or maybe not!
