Preorder: Hidden Storm (The Road to Rocktoberfest)

Back in April of this year (2023 for future travellers…) I was lucky enough to attend RAREMelbourne*. Whilst there I met the very lovely TL Travis who invited me to join a group project that has run successfully for the past couple of years – The Road to Rocktoberfest. Now, full disclosure TL issued this invitation whilst I was consuming mojitos at the Meet & Greet on the Friday evening. I would like the record…
