Proto Exotica Pres. James Falco (IT)

Practically galloping to the end of the year with one final dance at the most beloved, most intimate, and recently re-freshed Angel Upstairs. Warmup by yours truly, then Sammy Sanchez has got a hot little pocketful for her debut club set right before we welcome THE James Falco to steer the party until sunrise!
