Nostalgia PDX

12/26/2025

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.

My dear sweet club kids -
As many of you know, our Nostalgia planning team began this adventure back in 2010 with one thought in mind - to assemble the best OG lineup of your favorite DJs from back in the day and put together the most memorable reunion possible. Something that you would look forward to, unlike high school reunions or your random 80s night; something that would draw old friends from faraway places to experience the magic in person. Our very first Nostalgia was an unforgettable night of music and reconnection.

We waited a couple years to bring you the second one in 2012; the third one didn’t follow until 2022 because we wanted to find the perfect location, and suitable venues in Portland are scarce.

Once we were able to secure a steady home, sadly many of our friends were gone. As we poured over tons of pictures of people at the first and second events, we noticed a lot of folks in them that were no longer with us. We decided Nostalgia needed to be an annual event, to celebrate this unique experience we all shared with as many people as possible for as long as we could keep this going.

This year, however… things look a bit different.
Life has a way of placing the worst obstacles in your path, and the particular obstacle I happen to be facing is taking some time to maneuver through. A lot of love and energy and hard work goes into the planning of these events, because you all deserve nothing less than the very best - it makes me sad to even say out loud that it’d be too great a challenge this year to plan a full-blown Nostalgia VI. Next year, yes… but this year, it’s just a bit too much at the moment for me.

Nostalgia means a lot to me on a personal level, as I know it does for many of you. And it would be a shame to not make SOMEthing happen this year. I truly love putting on this event; to me it’s even *more* important now that we keep this whole thing going. The DJs feel the same way. So here is our compromise. We are putting together a Nostalgia of a smaller scale, and we would love it if you were able to attend.

The Nostalgia Holiday Office Party will be on December 20th at the Goodfoot Pub & Lounge (2845 SE Stark St., Portland). Cover charge will be at the door (no advance tickets) but we’ll be offering incentives to those who show up early. More info to come as we get closer!

With much love, humility, and respect,
Melody
