Livestream tonight!!! I first met Zosimo through his work on Signos, the horror anthology we carry here at Hot Tropiks. Since we aren’t based in LA, we’re not always plugged into the local scene there… but when Susan from told us he’s easily one of the coolest dudes in the US OPM scene, I knew we had to connect. I wanted to get to know him better, and you should too! We’re sitting down to talk books music and US + PH life!

Join us for the Bawal Book Club live stream!

Photo dump from Sunday.

Ate/Tita Nadine had a great time. Also, after watching JP Breganza and Menchie spin, I got inspired! It might be time for me to get a DJ controller.

Special thanks to Chorva Co. for bailing us out with the extra shelf, thank you to Manila Sound and Benny Boy Brewing & Cider House

Thanks to everyone who hung out, ate, and picked up a tote bag. Until the next one.
