4th OF JULY - RECAP

By: JoyEngine

4th of July was a blast. First we rode down to Denver (it took a little over 4 hours and yes, my ass is still sore). We arrived at Lefavor’s for the fireworks throw down. We got to mingle with the who’s who or our little scene including the Wills family (owners of The Shoppe and The Fabric Lab), Brian Wood and Kim Boos of Tee and Cakes, Joseph Shaeffer of Studio Josheph Shaeffer and all sorts of other totally awesome people.

We spent the next day cruising around the city on our bikes with our gracious host Mr. Scot Lefavor. We rolled up to the Super Fresh Block Party around 6 and things were already kicking off. Scot jumped right in on the live painting to join Markham “Shitty Kitten” Maes, Mike Graves, Josh Wills, Matt Schreiber , Magnet Mafia, Sam Turner and Eric Cox.

Around 10 the entire side walk was overflowing with people and a break circle was kicking off in front of the DJs. The fashion show got rolling shortly after and was crazy impressive.  Tons of models all looking their finest in locally designed garb. The police showed up shortly after that.  They just kept coming, I guess shit was just too fashionable - too many good looking people in one place.

Huge ups to everyone involved. It’s people like you that keep this community rad.
