Last night, EC3 posted a late night update on social media to let friends and fans know he was hospitalized with an infection.
He’s back with a lengthy blog post letting everyone know he’s doing okay, and still on schedule to face Matt Cardona at a self-promoted show at the end of the month. It’s a wild tale that involves a legendary drummer, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, “Fat Thor”, Muddy Buddy Chex Mix, sticking up for his Nurse Practitioner in the investigation of a workplace incident, and an Austrian philosopher.
