SUNDAY, 9/1 at 3PM -> Damn. It’s already September, the last month of Goodness w/DJ Low Key & friends on the Meadowlark’s patio. Ugh. It hurts to type that, but it’s true, and on that note, we’re definitely going to be making the most of the month, starting with this weekend’s Mas Chingon Goodness, featuring two ridiculously dope special guests, DJ Amen (Radio Bums) & DJ Wushu (Bass Crooks), joining me on the turntables.
Why’s it called Mas Chingon Goodness, you ask? Because we’re bringing back Chef David Lopez and the El Chingon crew to do tacos for us for one week only! If you came out to any Goodnesses in 2012, you already know that they make some incredible (the more traditional yin to Moontower’s fusion yang) tacos and a whole lot more and with their new location at 44th and Tennyson not quite open yet, this party is your best chance to get your Chingon fix for a minute. 21+ / No Cover / 3-10pm.
BTW, there are only 5 more 2013 Goodnesses left (four Sundays + a bonus Power To The DJs edition Goodness on Labor Day), don’t miss a single one! Also, if you’re wondering, Moontower Tacos will be back next Sunday!!!
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.

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.

SUNDAY, 8/5 from 2-9PM -> This Summer just keeps getting better and better. Last Sunday at Goodness was the busiest yet, our guests blessed the crowd with amazing music and the vibe was damn near flawless. This week we’re keeping the wins coming and teaming up with one of my favorite crews in Denver, The D.O.P.E. Game, for cocktails, music and more fun. D.O.P.E. stands for Don’t Oppress Positive Energy and these dudes are full of positivity, as anyone who comes out to join us for cocktails will soon see.
For Cocktails With The D.O.P.E. Game, I’ll be joined by the crew’s DJ, DJ Dozen, as well as the one and only DJ Squirt; two of my favorite young DJs in Denver. Your friend Teej aka Turner Jackson and Denver’s favorite videographer Jeremy Pape will be your afternoon’s hosts, along with the rest of the crew, who’ll be hanging out on the patio all afternoon and giving PBRs to the first 50 people that come out. As always, El Chingon will be putting other tacos to shame with their delicious assortment of carnitas, shrimp tacos & culinary magic while the agua frescas stay be flowing (this week’s special is Agua De Limon so think extra tasty lemonade, then think about mixing it with the strawberry aguas and try not to drool…lol). The misters will be in effect, the music will be top notch & the vibe bordering pure nirvana on the Meadowlark’s beautiful patio (2701 Larimer St), so come join us. Last not least, we’ll also be celebrating Phill’s Broncos & Bronsolini Birthday Bash, so if you see some girls going wilds to an Action Bronson son, they’re with him…LOL. 21+/No Cover.
