And so it was, on a night of heat and exhaustion, that friends of Junior & Co. gathered for one final time in 2009. There was beer and conversation and pretty people with pretty smiles. Everyone was stirring and gosh were they nice. In fact, it's definitely safe to say we forced the yuletide out of the closet to announce it's homosexuality. It was a very gay evening indeed. Thanks to everybody who has supported us this year, we couldn't have done it without you. Well, we probably ... Read More! »

How great is Thousand Pound Bend!? It's such a versatile venue. It feels like our home with all those couches and bedraggled furniture scattered about. Within this house of comfort and mirth we hosted our December event, presided over by none other than our old friend Stuart Geddes, one of Melbourne's most visually articulate and clever designers from Chase & Galley.

"Work on your shit. Ride your bicycle. Don’t have sex. Work hard. Be nice. Pay attention. What else? That’s kinda it. Oh, and don’t buy dumb shit." And that, our clever and taste-ridden friends, is where Part One of Daniel Bremmer's interview finished. If you haven't read it yet, read it now.
