Have Substack? Need a little pick-me-up?

I loved reading this author’s recount of our teenage years. It brought a smile to my face, remembering what it felt like to walk in those doors and leave the world outside for just a few hours. Imported records were our Bitcoin! 😂 How the world has changed. We keep on dancing through it all.

My dear, sweet, club kid friends.

(I hate having to make these posts...)

It is with great sadness that I inform you that Carl Little is no longer with us. 💔 I don't have much detail other than he was at home, presumably passing peacefully in his sleep.

Share your memories of Carl here.

Here is our Boxing Day gift to you! Hot off the press, or the thumbdrive as the case maybe, we’ve got two plus hours of last Saturday’s party. This is all three DJs second sets. Just as it went down (with a few volume adjustments to make it a more pleasant even experience). Link in comments to try to be the algorithms.

(What the hell is Boxing Day anyway, well moving on…)

Please come early and save yourself some dough. Usually the Goodfoot opens at 9, but we told them we’ve got some early folks. Don’t make us look foolish! 8-9pm it’s only $10, and $15 after.

If you’ve been to the Goodfoot you may have assumed, but if you’ve never been, you may not know. The nightclub portion of the Goodfoot is downstairs, through the single red door (there should be a Nostalgia poster there at the time). The upstairs is through the red double doors. If you need to get a break from loud music or grab a bite to eat, the upstairs is great for that. Food and full bar there. And with a hand stamp, you can return to the downstairs anytime.

The Goodfoot is well known as one of Portland’s favorite spots to dance. As regularly voted so in Willamette Week’s readers’ poll. And highlighted in the recent New York Times feature 36 hours in Portland. As such there are bound to be a certain percentage of people who show up on any given Saturday because they know it’s a good time. In the past, at times, we have had complaints about there being people attending who weren’t there back in the day. It’s ok, weren’t not exclusive. All are welcome. At 50 years old, everyone should be able to socialize with new people. They just want to experience a bit of what the old days were like. Young blood helps keep it all moving forward.

Maybe a friend with cash can cover you, and you can get them a drink on your card. One way or another, plan ahead. If money is tight, consider coming between 8-9 when it’s only $10. But no one should feel like they can’t come in because of the cover, if it’s an issue, contact us.
