Sunday, 5/12 -> Mother’s Day Goodness w/DJ Low Key and special guests Dayta & Sounds Supreme on the Meadowlark’s patio! No Que No Tacos, aguas frescas & more, bring your mom out!!!

SUNDAY, 5/12 at 3pm -> I love you Denver, and I can’t thank you enough.  Despite an overcast afternoon and weather in the 50s making me nervous, Cinco De Goodness, the 2013 Goodness w/DJ Low Key & friends kickoff party, was packed and INCREDIBLE!!!  A ton of familiar faces came through, the vibe was as perfect as we all remembered and smiles were had all the way around on the Meadowlark’s beautiful patio, just like we’d been looking forward to.

Goodness returns this weekend with Sunday’s forecast calling for a more proper mid 70s and featuring two of my favorite DJs; Houston fixture Dayta (Kracker Nuttz / Good Good Fridays) and Solution co-founder DJ Sounds Supreme joining me on the turntables.  No Que No Tacos Y Mariscos will be back with an expanded menu and on the drink side of things, we’ll be featuring three flavors of our signature agua frescas con Svedka that your momma will love.  Jessica the Solution Bartender and Tara will be serving your drinks with a smile, the music will be incredible and it’s should be another borderline flawless Sunday afternoon at Goodness; hopefully we’ll see you out!  2701 Larimer St / No Cover / 21+.

Sunday, May 5th -> Cinco De Goodness w/DJ Low Key, DJ Chris Karns, DJ Largechild & DJ Dozen on the Meadowlark’s patio to kick off the 2013 season! Food by No Que No Tacos Y Mariscos, Agua Frescas & more…

SUNDAY, 5/5 at 3PM -> It’s here!  Goodness w/DJ Low Key & friends, my Summertime party on the Meadowlark’s beautiful patio is back for the 2013 patio season!!!  Last year, Goodness got off to an unbelievable start, with a ton of great people, top notch music, refreshing, delicious tacos & assorted randomness coming together like magic every weekend.  Now we’re back for 2013 and kicking things off with an all-star DJ lineup including world renowned DJ Chris Karns, underrated Lipgloss resident DJ Largechild, Welcome To The D.O.P.E. Game’s DJ Dozen & myself.

On the food tip, El Chingon and Chef David Lopez (aka DJ Psycho), who did tacos for us last year, are opening their new location at 44th & Tennyson (go check it out!) and unfortunately they’re not going to be able to do tacos for us this season.  With that said, we’re bringing in No Que No Tacos & Mariscos to do food for the 2013 Summer season.  No Que No has an actual food truck and will be able to serve a bigger menu than we offered last year (including fried foods!), so expect a wider variety of delicious options for your patio dining pleasure.  On the drink side of things, we’ll still be featuring our signature agua frescas con Svedka with a few new surprises for 2013.  It’s gonna be an incredible Summer at Goodness, hopefully you can join us!  2701 Larimer St / No Cover / 21+.

Saturday, 10/13 from 2-9PM -> End of the Patio Season Goodness w/DJ Low Key & friends, El Chingon Tacos and more on the Meadowlark’s patio…Don’t miss the last patio party of 2012!!!

SATURDAY, 10/13 from 2-9PM -> I knew this day was coming, but it doesn’t make things any easier.  It’s almost mid-October, the forecast is for high-60s and we’ve got just enough time and good weather for one last Goodness on the Meadowlark’s incredible patio before we call it a wrap for the 2012 patio season (but don’t worry, we’ll be back in mid/late Spring).  With that said, please join myself, a few guest DJs (lineup coming soon) and the homies from El Chingon as we celebrate a first season that went better than any of us could have hoped for.

On that note, I want to thank each and everybody who came through Goodness this Summer/Fall, the vibe was basically perfect the whole time and that wouldn’t have been possible without the love, support and patronage of an amazing variety of people (maybe most diverse party in Denver? I dunno if that’s the case, but I heard people saying it every week).  Hopefully we’ll see all of y’all out for the season’s closer.  More details at @feel_goodness/21+/No Cover/2701 Larimer St.

P.S. The heaters are now back on the patio so when the sun goes down we should be good.  I’d bring a hoodie if you show up late, just to be safe.

P.P.S. I’m working on a few other cool new concepts for this Fall/Winter, so add me on facebook, follow me on twitter, catch me on tumblr, join the e-mail list at the top right corner of this page, etc so you can stay in the loop from here on out.

Saturdays from 2-9PM until it starts snowing -> Goodness w/DJ Low Key & friends, El Chingon tacos & more on the Meadowlark’s patio…

 

Saturdays from 2-9PM -> For the last few weeks, people have been asking nonstop about my plans for Goodness w/DJ Low Key & friends as the weather gets colder.  The answer has pretty much been the same; “we’ll figure it out when Fall gets here”.  Well now that Fall is officially here, it’s time for an update.  Here’s the details:
1. In case you missed the announcement last weekend, we’re moving Goodness back to Saturday afternoons for the rest of the season for a few reasons, primarily because of Bronco/Peyton-mania, but also for an extra special Goodness event on Saturday, 10/6 (stay tuned for details, coming real soon) and more.
2. This weekend’s forecast calls for 74 degrees and sunshine on Saturday and next weekend is looking even hotter.  With that said, the party is going to continue on until it gets “too cold”, which is still probably 4-6 weeks or so away.
3. I’m also working on a few other cool new concepts for this Fall/Winter, so add me on facebook, follow me on twitter, catch me on tumblr, join the e-mail list at the top right corner of this page, etc so you can stay in the loop from here on out.
So just to reiterate, don’t miss Autumn Goodness w/DJ Low Key & friends, tacos by El Chingon and more on the Meadowlark’s ridiculous patio (2701 Larimer St) until the weather gets too cold.  Stay tuned to djlowkey.com & @Feel_Goodness on twitter for more info on the party and special events as we make the most out of the next month or so of nice weather.  Also, be on the lookout for a few cool weather specials as the Fall makes it’s presence more felt over the next few weeks. Rain or Shine /// 21+ /// 2-9pm /// No Cover.
Last but not least, here’s some humbling feedback on Goodness that helped us confirm that this Summer was unforgettable:

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.

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.

SUNDAY, 9/16 from 2-9PM -> Coming off the freshest wedding party ever (big up the homie Ben, Archi & B-Stee for bringing everybody through, what a cool crew), Goodness is back to celebrate a pair of important birthdays along with one of our favorite Denver culture blogs, The 4th Door.  The birthdays we’re celebrating are the birth of CO hip hop saint Lazy Eyez (I know he hates that title, but it’s true!) and The 4th Door founder/head honcho Dom Von Stephen Atencio (aka Dominic Atencio) and with music by myself, Deejay Tense (Crunk Brothers) & Lazy Eyez himself, it promises to be a day to remember.  If you’re not up on The 4th Door, head over to their site right now and familiarize yourself with one of the freshest blogs/sites in CO; full of culture, art, fashion, humor & sports content.

As usual, El Chingon will be slanging delicious tacos, the vibe will be second to none and the people extra cool as we make the most the Meadowlark’s super dope patio before it gets too cold.  Last but not least, even though the Broncos game is on Monday Night Football, we’ve mounted a TV on the bar so you can catch the day’s football games at the party.  21+/No Cover/2701 Larimer St.

Also, by popular demand, Opt Won will be back with his Doc Fresh Vintage Sports Apparel Pop-Up Shop featuring with all the dope Starter jackets & such that 80s-babies such as myself love (breakaways, windbreakers, sweatshirts, snap backs, satin jackets, etc).  El Chingon will be on the tacos, the vibe will be borderline magic and you should already know to get there early in the day if you’re trying grab a table before the Meadowlark’s super dope patio fills up.  Last but not least, we know Peyton-mania is at an all-time high, so we’ve mounted a TV on the bar so you can catch all the Broncos games at Goodness.  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.
