It’s Matter Journal’s tin anniversary — yes, tin. Apparently that’s what you give people when they’ve made it 10 years, or in this case, 10 issues.
The journal, based in Fort Collins, is a collection of author interviews, essays, stories and poems. Upon the release of Matter 10 Village, its 10th issue, New Belgium Brewing and Wolverine Farm Publishing will host a little party.
Thankfully though, the celebration does not require guests to come toting tin.
Pangaea 2.oh!: A DIY Extravaganza is an open call to artists, activists, crafty people and the overall creative to come together in honor of the journal. There will be live music along with tents and tables to display your ideas, art, zines, crafts, information and skills. The Denver Zine Library will be selling zines from around the state.
Colorado State University professors Sasha Steensen and Gordon Hadfield will be doing a book binding workshop as well.
Food and drinks from New Belgium, Taj Mahal, Choice City Butcher and Deli, The Bean Cycle and Cafe Ardour will be available.
Headliners Loch Lomond will play at 2 p.m. while area bands The Young and the Naive and Sangre will play in between readings from the journal, authors and poets.

|  | "Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is Alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only truth." | |
|  | We're not that bright, even though in our own little world, we're geniuses. We like 80s hair bands and one-hit wonders, but among us we have respectable tastes, too. Metallica, Iron Maiden, U2. Pursuit of all things trivial is a lifestyle, not just a game. We like some sports, love other sports, and can find something to say about anything. We watch TV and movies and we've read a book or two, even a few classics (Yes, Classic Comics count!)
We call it insight, you call it what you will. | |

|  | What is up FoCo?
I am a recent college graduate of Minnesota State University Moorhead. After recieving my B.A. in English and Mass Communications this past August I moved down to Colorado.
I enjoy long walks on the beach, candlelight dinners, and heavy metal. My hobbies include reading and writing, music, movies, and getting drunk. Some of my favorite contemporary authors include Bret Easton Ellis, Chuck Palahniuk, and Kurt Vonnegut. My top movies are anything directed by Kubrick. I enjoy listening to anything that rocks.
Right now I am just trying to get to know Colorado and FoCo better. Mostly in order to find the best drink specials on each day that ends in Y. So if you know where I can get a cheap drunk on, let me know!
