Acid and Life Are Mind-Blowing

I hope you are off to a great week! We got some new stuff dropping today at The Shop but before we get to that I wanted to share with you a story about my trip… well not the typical vacation trip or festival trip I would normally attend right around this time of the year but a different kind of trip.

Resources For American Artists and Nightlife Professionals Affected by COVID-19

Nightlife professionals and artists, you’re not alone. We have all been hit hard by the forced lockdown and closures mandated to combat COVID-19 and it sure seems like the next few months are not going to get any easier. Stay positive though, because together we must help one another to make it through all these obstacles thrown at us. It is with this in mind that we are sharing key resources for American artists and nightlife professionals affected by COVID-19 in this article.
