In the Moment with Em 🌿

Sometimes the story hides in the details — a pair of rockstar chickens, a flash of red sneakers, a suede bag left behind in the woods.

It’s the kind of everyday magic Em always seems to find — those small, quiet moments that make you pause and wonder what happened just before (or what might happen next).

📸 Captured by — the eye behind the unexpected.

✨ Today we hit the road.
The G Lodge crew is rolling into Abilene Bar & Lounge for When I’m 64 — a birthday celebration for Darren Gauger and a Sunday full of music, stories, and familiar faces.

We’re especially proud to have Mike Brown joining the lineup with .pajaritos.band — a Grammy-nominated artist from Geneseo, NY, and the heart behind Temperamental Recordings, a studio he built inside a restored 1828 church.
Mike recorded his album American Hotel across all 50 states with 75 musicians — a project fueled by grit, soul, and pure curiosity. The kind of energy that feels right at home in this community.

Come spend the afternoon with us —
Music starts at 2, doors at 1:30.
No cover, food available, donations appreciated.

Abilene’s about to feel a little more like The Lodge.
