Y’all, our Friday Happy Hour @ The Junkyard Social Club (@junkyardsocialclub) is two years old! It has been a real joy to throw 23(!) of these parties with you and I’m pleased to announce our second birthday party! 2️⃣ 🎂 ✌️🪩 🙌
We’ll be joined by fan favorite Two Hands Paperie (@twohandspaperie) who will host one of their collage popup sessions. 🙌 📰 🗺️ ✂️
This month our guest DJ will be making his public debut, we’re proud to introduce to you the one and only REMO!
For our second birthday, it’s cool to have both a long term collaborator like Two Hands Paperie and a new DJ like REMO at the same party.
As I wrote the last time Mia from Two Hands joined us, DJing is like collage in that it depends on the combination and juxtaposition of materials that are, “ready at hand.” The tools and materials may be different, but the goal is the same: to make something new out of something old. To use old ideas and forms to create new ones.
Sort of like the Junkyard. Sort of like these happy hours, which we’ve tried to focus on bringing different groups of people together and see what we can make together.
* Some collage materials will be provided (magazines, paper scraps, and ephemera).
* BYO scissors, glue stick, and special collage materials from your secret stash.
* First 20 people receive a special collage scrap pack courtesy of Two Hands Paperie!
* Plus Happy Hour & Red Tail Sound Giveaways!

Enjoy the Junkyard’s epic recycled play structures, visit the DJs at the turntables to learn about how DJing works, or catch up with friends in the shade! It’s a perfect way to start off the weekend.
Produced by a community of Native artists, activists, and historians, the Breathing Healing Bus is touring the Front Range with an exhibit providing essential context for the anniversaries of Colorado statehood and U.S. nationhood, and addressing the hard history of genocide, forced removal, and ongoing marginalization of Native Americans in our country.
