Viktor Wilt here, and wow, what a start to the day. It's been a strange morning, partially thanks to a restless sleep filled with one of the wildest dreams I've had in a while. It started as a Nine Inch Nails concert in a surreal version of Salt Lake City, then shifted to LA with Acid Bath headlining. Add some bizarre costumes, a creepy Airbnb, constant back-and-forth trips, and three shady characters chasing us – it was exhausting!
