Trying new things can help us grow, both as individuals and as a community. At this month’s Friday Happy Hour we’ll be joined by @Home Call Crafting’s Kennedy Lawless, who will lead a drop-in painting class and art jam while our guest DJ, the one and only M3dium of Boulder’s beloved House of Fire parties, returns to the controls for his second Happy Hour appearance.
And as always, feel free to join us at the DJ booth to look, watch, and ask questions! Both M3dium and your host, the one and only Duck La Rock, are glad to show you the ropes!

Get on down to the super sound at the Junkyard Social Club’s Friday Happy Hour on Friday, February 6. This month Duck La Rock is joined by guest DJs Niklii and Druubiidoo of Turntable Tuesday at Vision Quest Brewing for an all-vinyl session.
Aside from its OG aesthetic, playing vinyl can help give new DJs a more tactile or embodied understanding of how we play and manipulate recorded sound in real time than using a digital controler might. “The medium us the message.” – M. McLuhan
As at our last party, we’ll be set up at one of the Junkyard’s big wooden tables with chairs and space to hang out, talk, and watch the DJs do their thing.
Cheap Date is back! Your hosts MAPICHULE and Duck La Rock are set to sizzle at Walnut Cafe on Saturday, February 28th. The bass will be heavy, the dance floor sweaty, and the flavors complex.
The only question is… how cheap can you get?
