GOOD TIMES: ONE MORE MAGNAN

Just a few photos from last week's Good Times party. I forgot how quiet a Wednesday can be after a three-day weekend, though I did my fair share of running around for Memorial Day too and was still still feeling it when Michael Magnan guested with me last week at Eastern Bloc.

An early drive-by by my DJ brother Dicap, who is also coming to San Francisco with me to party and bullshit and DJ at the end of June for their Pride, which is so far the best pride party I've attended though I hear Madrid and Tel Aviv are up there as well.

The three bears, in search of their Goldilocks for the evening.

I've already gushed over our guest DJ Michael Magnan time and time again but goddamn does he know how to DJ and turn out an awesome set.

Original Good Times gangsters Michael (left) and JR, both of whom helped me get nostalgic for the past six years of good times that we've had together at this little ol' bar on sixth street near Avenue A.

A San Francisco treat in the form of Mr. McShannock (left), who stuck to the front end of the bar with our dear friend Sean so they could get first dibs on all the new bar entrants and last licks (literally) on everyone exiting.

THE MYSTERY PINK TINT CONTINUES, this week on DJ Buddha Funkenstein. I'm convinced that our semi-invincible digital camera is waiting until June 26th, the very last Good Times (with DONKEY DJing!), before it flies off to digital camera heaven after a job well done for each and every Wednesday. (PS - DONKEY is DJing in LA this Sunday at the Standard West Hollywood. And I'm DJing Cub Scout Friday night too. Come).

I had no idea who these people are and how that got in the DJ but now I'm remembering that the one holding a beer repeatedly requested Daft Punk's Get Lucky and then stopped the track that was playing with his elbow. No messiness in the DJ booth! (unless you're the DJ).

See you next week for the fourth to last Good Times and a vinyl set by the always awesome Ron Like Hell. xo, Sparber

MICHAEL MAGNAN, DJ TO THE STARS

GOOD TIMES: A BOBBY KIND OF BIRTHDAY

As an early birthday present to myself, I invited my favorite disco DJ Bobby Viteritti to return to our weekly Wednesday Good Times party at Eastern Bloc last week, which also happened to be my birthday week (where my Tauruses at?). Then I got a bit slack in promoting said party as a birthday celebration. Thankfully, a ton of my nearest and dearest came out anyway to show their love and support for me, which I very much appreciated and enjoyed.

W. Jeremy (left) has been on fire of late with DJ bookings and appearances all over town. He might even be on his way to Vienna's LifeBall later this month (work!). Michael (right) gifted me one of his awesome tshirts that he sells on VFiles as well as a slap bracelet. He also played an awesome late-night set at 11:11 on Friday night/Saturday morning, the night of my actual birthday. Thank you Michael. Love you.

Scott Hug is a New York City treasure for too many reasons to list. 

And speaking of treasures, disco treasure Bobby Viteritti was back on the decks and turning me out as usual with his disco set.

So lucky to not only have Bobby play my party but to have the honor of spinning with such a wonderful guy and meeting his equally as wonderful DJ friend, JC.

It was a happy birthday indeed. Thank you to everyone who came out. I'll be winding down Good Times on a weekly basis by the end of June with plans to possibly resurrect it as a monthly or for three-day weekend one-offs in the fall. These past six years of Good Times have been absolutely spectacular for me and I look forward to growing and traveling more as a DJ and a producer. I also look forward to whatever lies ahead. xo, Sparber

THIS WEEKEND

 

Ladyfag's Friday weekly, 11:11, has been going strong for a few months now with no end in sight. I'm stoked to be DJing it this coming Friday and then again on Sunday with DJ Will Automagic in the basement of Vandam at Greenhouse.
