A peek inside Gem and Glenn Hotvet's witchy Southtown emporium Déjà Vu Esoterica

Married business partners Gem and Glenn Hotvet are arguably best known locally as the mad scientists behind K23 — the psychedelically inclined DIY music venue they launched in 2014. Named after a mystical scent Tom Robbins conjured in his 1984 novel Jitterbug Perfume, that project extended beyond the confines of their compact midtown space to the tune of memorable events such as the Psych del Rio festival at the Arneson River Theatre and the Astral Projection concert series at the Scobee Education Center & Planetarium.
