In Pseudofoliculitis City nothing is as it seems and everything is as it should be.  Today's forecast calls for extreme confrontation, with sandwich flurries and the threat of handlebar moustaches to the west.

By turns absurd and surreal, dark and challenging, Pseudo-City exposes what waits in the bathroom stall, under the manhole cover and in the corporate boardroom, all in a way that can only be described as mind-bogglingly irreal.
