Saturday, 9/29 from 2-9PM -> Goodness w/DJ Low Key, DJ Large Child & BK Beats feat. PBZ, El Chingon Tacos, Brent Lyon’s Birthday Party & more on the Meadowlark’s patio…

SATURDAY, 9/29 from 2-9PM -> A few weeks ago at Goodness I shouted my favorite football team, who happens to be the Atlanta Falcons, the night before they were playing the Broncos on Monday Night Football.  I knew what would happen and like I expected, I ended up getting viciously booed at my own party by one of the coolest crowds in Denver (I’m from originally from Georgia, so I still root for team I grew up rooting for, how you gonna be mad at that?).  Well Broncos fans you already know who won the next night, but you won the war and due to the city’s Bronco/Peyton-mania, we’re gonna move Goodness to Saturdays until we close down for Winter, so you can have all of Sunday for the Broncos and the rest of the NFL and we don’t have to change to vibe of Goodness to feel like a sports bar (we will still have the one TV with college games though).

With that said, we’re getting things off to a great start on Saturday with a very dope edition of Goodness.  I’ll be joined by DJ Large Child, who I always knew was nice, but impressed me extra at the David Flores/Akomplice art shows we DJed at last month and Solution Beat Battle winner/recent Potholes In My Blog label signee BK Beats featuring PBZ as they celebrate the release of their Time Is Of The Essence EP.  We’re also celebrating the homie Brent Lyon’s birthday and if you know him, you already know he’ll be rolling with a fun crew.  As usual, El Chingon will be serving up delicious tacos, agua frescas will be flowing and the vibe just how you like it the Meadowlark’s patio, see you there!  21+/No Cover/2701 Larimer St.

SUNDAY, 9/23 from 2-9PM -> Even though this Sunday is technically the first dayof Fall, Goodness is still going strong with another dope lineup and a forecast of 81 degrees and sunny as we make the most of the last few weeks of warm weather.  This time around I’ll be joined by b-boy/DJ phenom DJ Stretch from L.O.F. and DJ Pat Allen aka Boo Bear aka Breaka Breaka and if you know these two dudes, you already know it’s gonna be a fun one.

As usual, El Chingon will be serving delicious tacos, the vibe will be top notch and the people extra cool as we make the most the Meadowlark’s super dope patio before Winter hits.  Last but not least, just wanted to remind you that we’ve mounted a TV on the bar so you can catch the Broncos and the rest of the day’s football games at the party.  21+/No Cover/2701 Larimer St.

Friday, 9/7 at 8PM -> Goodness presents Michael vs Prince vs Stevie Silent Disco w/DJ Low Key, DJ Check One, Es Nine, Nofrendo & more on the Meadowlark’s patio…

FRIDAY, 9/7 at 8PM -> I’m super excited to announce this, I’ve been working to make it happen all Summer and it’s finally here.  We’re celebrating three of the best artists of all-time, silent disco style, on the Meadowlark’s beautiful patio, AT NIGHT!!!!!  Now’s a good time to familiarize yourself with what a silent disco is, if you’re not familiar.

Here’s the silent disco definition from wikipedia -> “Silent disco has become a common name for a disco where people dance to music listened to on wireless headphones. Rather than using a speaker system, music is broadcast via an FM-transmitter with the signal being picked up by wireless headphone receivers worn by the participants. Those without the headphones hear no music, giving the effect of a room full of people dancing to nothing. Often two three DJs compete for listeners. Silent discos are popular at music festivals as they allow dancing to continue past noise curfews.”

So basically you come into the patio, get a pair of special headphones and can tune into one of three stations, with each one with a different DJ playing a different artist; one all Michael Jackson and family, one Prince and crew, one Stevie Wonder and affiliated artists.  As the party gets a little closer I’ll announce the rest of the DJ lineup and who’s repping who, but trust, your ears are in for a ridiculous, surreal night of dancing to some of the best artists ever, on the Meadowlark’s incredible patio (which normally can’t have music after 10PM because of noise ordinances, in what has to be one of the biggest shames in Denver).

We only have 100 headphone so make sure you come out early, so you don’t get stuck waiting for a pair to become available.  The party starts at 8PM, it’s 21+ and the $10 cover gets you in the door plus a special set of headphones for the night.  Last but not least, we’ll be featuring $5 Red Bull & Svedkas and $2 Red Bulls all night long.

 

Sunday, 9/2 from 2-9PM -> Labor Day Weekend Goodness w/DJ Low Key, extra special guest DJ Bonics (Pittsburgh / Wiz Khalifa’s DJ), DJ Kaaos & more on the Meadowlark’s patio…

 SUNDAY, 9/2 from 2-9PM -> I’m happy to announce that one of my favorite DJs in the country, legendary Pittsburgh DJ, Bonics aka Wiz Khalifa’s DJ and former US Red Bull Thre3 Style finalist, is gonna be coming to Goodness to spin an extra special guest set and help make our Labor Day weekend one to remember.  I’ll also be DJing and your host for the day, DJ KAAOS (of the group M.F. KAAOS) will be spinning a guest set as well & of course, El Chingon will be serving up exceptional tacos & more on the Meadowlark’s beautiful patio. The vibe will be incredible and you might wanna get their early in the afternoon if you’re trying claim some top notch real estate before the spot fills up; with no work on Monday and our biggest guest DJ to date coming to town, it should be one for the books. 21+/No Cover/2701 Larimer St.

SUNDAY, 8/12 from 2-9PM -> Luau Goodness w/DJ Low Key, Kid Hum & DJ Wushu + special Hawaiian-inspired El Chingon tacos & more on the Meadowlark’s patio…

 

SUNDAY, 8/12 from 2-9PM -> Last week was the busiest yet (check the pic below) and the rave reviews keep coming in about how great the vibe at Goodness is, with everyone from randoms who lucked out and found us to Denver culture blogs to die-hard music heads saying it’s their favorite party of the Summer.  This week we’re back at it a with a Hawaiian twist.  Now I’m gonna be honest, my original plan, back before we partnered with El Chingon, was to have a pig roast and luau on 8/12.  I clung on to that idea as things got more and more complicated while trying to make it happen and ultimately, I had steer away from the idea when we learned that due to health code regulations, we wouldn’t be able to roast the pig on-site.  Never one to be held down, I worked with El Chingon’s Chef David Lopez to put together some delicious Hawaiian-inspired taco specials, along with pineapple and mango agua frescas, which is probably the next best thing to a pig roast in keeping with the Hawaiiian theme (and it also doesn’t scare vegetarians quite like a roasted pig’s head…LOL).

Beyond the Hawaiian food and drinks, I’ll be joined on your afternoon’s soundtrack by two very dope cats who I’ve never really had a chance to rock with, but always wanted to; DJ Wushu (Bass Crooks) & Kid Hum (Fossil Fuel Music).  Also, in keeping with the Hawaiian theme, we’re gonna give $25 in tacos and drinks to the person with the best Hawaiian shirt on, so come dressed proper and end up full with a nice buzz on us.  The misters will be keeping us refreshed, the music will be beautiful & the vibe bordering magic on the Meadowlark’s beautiful patio (2701 Larimer St), so come join us.  21+/No Cover.
