Your Weekend Plans Should Be Crystal Clear!

Any plans for  this Saturday night, April 10th? Well, even if you do have plans, cancel them because you should be at the Crystal Monoliths show at  Cafeina Gallery, free of charge. The show is being brought to you by no other than Morfiq Studio. (Which brings us to the topic of Jose Mertz, but we will tell you more about him in another post, so keep your eyes peeled.)
