Hammock’s back from Peru, a changed Hammock. A better Hammock, renewed, reborn, reinvigorated…and now trying to re-integrate back into the real world while keeping the Last Wave afloat. It’s possible…but that means less of an internet presence and more of a real life presence. But the jams will continue for now, and this week’s episode is jam packed, with plenty to satisfy all the papacitos and mamacitas in the house.
