The Fabric Lab
Posted by: mshurricane on: November 5, 2009
In a bittersweet twist, the style house I have been proud to call myself an assistant to, The Fabric Lab, will be closing their doors January 1st. To celebrate the fabulously talented fashion and art community, which has been cultivated carefully by owners Tran and Josh Wills, a Last Hurrah will be thrown. Next Saturday, November 14th at Mod Livin’ (5327 East Colfax) the Fabric Lab’s store closing reception will begin with “cocktails, hugs, hi fives and goodbyes” at 7pm and end with a “we blow your fucking minds fashion show” at 9pm. If you like fashion, this is THE PLACE to pick out your newest conversation pieces.
And for you cyclists out there, I talked to Broox at XRTS, he will be leading a Loops ride out to the show.
I am sad to see the Fabric Lab go, but all good things must come to an end and this will spawn the new beginning of something equally magnificent. Tran and Josh, you have done wonderful things for the cycling, art, and fashion communities of Denver. I wish you the best with your beautiful family and all that lies ahead in your bright futures. Thank you.
WHAT JUST HAPPENED?! The BFF Recap.

But the FILMS are really the prize jewel of the festival. All are at Starz FilmCenter at the Tivoli, are around and hour and a half per screening and will be awesome.
Where Are You Go is a great film about a bike tour from Cairo to Cape Town, sure to be inspirational. It will be screening on Friday at 7pm, here is the trailer:

With a cold creeping up on me I’m a little frightened to think of what this weekend has in store for me. May I have a life double, please? Someone to take my place?
Saturday, October 24th. I’ve seen that date on too many fliers.
The day begins as the sun rises, waiting in line at VeloSwap. This is a don’t miss for sure, the largest consumer bicycle show EVA. Doors open at 9am, get there EARLY!
Then we have a yoga for cyclists workshop at Breathe right when you’re ready to get out of that headache of a convention center. The two hour yoga workshop kicks off at 1pm. Bring your bike and Eric of Speed Cat Cycles will make sure it fits just right.
Next stop! Art by Craft Market at The Other Side Arts. Craft vendors and demos, oh my! Wraps up at 8pm on Platte St. and 16th.
I’m sure there’s some show or party that’s going to pop up on that list soon. I have a feeling with this sniffle I’ll be done after this loaded day.
Where the heart is.

Vivian Meier’s photography of Chicago from 1950- 1970. This is so nostalgic for me. I miss home.
Look for ‘em out on the streets.
