DWAN Creepy Cocktail Hour #1

Published January 31, 2025

In our first EVER livestream, Val talks real life creepy hotels here in Texas (perfect as it relates to our recent book club episode!) and manages to talk about how tragic it would be to have a spill on camera while she whips up a cocktail... then promptly has said spill occur on camera. Perfectly rehearsed! 🥴
