12/11/04 The DZL’s One Year Anniversary Party, DZL, 5pm-midnight
One year and still going strong!
3/6/04 Celebrate 4,000 Zines with the Denver Zine Library!, DZL, 11am, 9pm
What? The Denver Zine Library has over 4,000 zines?
Yep! And we think that’s enough reason to throw an all day party! Join us on Saturday, March 6th, the three-month anniversary of the library opening.
Come by the library from 11am-7pm to read some zines, get some free food, and hear some fabulous zinesters read. Readings will take place at 3pm and 6pm. The library is located at 111 W. Archer Pl. (3 blocks south of 1st and 1 block west of Broadway).
Then, at 9pm, there will be music and dancing at Garageland (2721 Walnut St). There is a $3-$5 sliding scale cover. I know you may be thinking, “Oh darn! A cover?” But just remember that all of the proceeds are going to the zine library to make it the biggest and best it can be. There will be two local bands: The Illegal Goose Band and the Skivvies. There will also be some local DJs supplying us with a rockin’ dance party. Plus, $1 PBRs!
Woo hoo!
12/5/03 Grand Opening!
