GOOD TIMES: OKTOBERFEST 2010

As the breezy autumn nights begin to arrive in New York City, nothing warms our hearts more than a few Fall traditions to make us feel festive and carb-tastic once again. Which is why we carried on the German tradition of Oktoberfest at last Wednesday's Good Times at Eastern Bloc, mixed with a good old American tradition...


BOBBING FOR APPLES! Who doesn't love bobbing for apples, especially when it involves winning a free shot of apple schnopps?!


It's like the dudes who used to shower on the bar at Splash, except now everyone can get wet!


Mrs. Mikey L. was the brainchild behind our bobbing contest. She has been fantasizing about apple bobbing since Labor Day weekend, when he hung up his whites and pulled out his flannels.


This would have been even more major if we had filled up the bucket with vodka and not told anybody.


Baked apples!


We didn't really do much German-themed Oktoberfest music because nobody would really stand for more than five minutes of Bavarian band music and there's only so many times I can play 99 Luftballoons in German.


Real life Aryans!


Back to Mumbai for Mikey Delucia (left). We're sad to say goodbye but we're planning a fundraiser to get us over there ASAP and jumpstart our career as a bhangra wedding and Bollywood see-and-be-seen DJ.


How do you like them apples?


We always love to see some new, young and fresh faces like these at our weekly Wednesday party. In fact, next week we'll be hosting a Good Times Purity Party solely for the sexually uninitiated and their admirers with purity master and guest DJ Timmy!


Jarrod, Mel and Garret (from left), huddling up for some traditional German dancing.


Never did I think the day would come when a bearded boy, dripping wet and gagged by an apple would leave me captionless for a photo.


Riveting gestures from the crowd of on-lookers. Get it gurl!


Oktoberfest was apparently very lady friendly too from what I can tell. Maybe it was the Fischerspooner beats I was bringing back, to which someone commented, "you know Ana Matronic of the Scissor Sisters is secretly the same person who sang on Fischerspooner's first album." False, but nice try.


Gonorrhea check. All clear.


Thomas (right) swore that his "Kraut" shirt was a mere Oktoberfest coincidence. Meanwhile, that black leather jacket with the red trim is making me quiver with jealousy.


Air-bobbing for apples. And Kevin even scored one!


Ich liebe dich. Lutsch mein' Schwanz.


Da da da.


Enter piggy roast joke here.


Your master of ceremonies, suited up in lederhosen.


Next time we do a lez parties, this is totally how the bobbing for apples contest is gonna go.


LIVING AND DYING FOR THIS LOOK.


Did I not say the ladies turned out in droves for Oktoberfest? Now all we need is a few more dirndls and we're set.


NEW COUPLE ALERT! Luke (left) and Justin have been caught cannoodling in more than one bathroom around town. And happy birthday Andre (right) or Shaqunda, since apparently Shaquanda and Andre have different birthdays and different birthday celebrations.


HAPPY OKTOBERFEST! See you next week for me and DJ Timmy's purity party.

TONIGHT!

GOOD TIMES: CHAKAHOLIC

Not only did last week's Wednesday party at Eastern Bloc have the best name ever (CHAKAHOLIC), it also had the best soul/funk sounds ever courtesy of our superb guest DJ Eugene Tambourine, who pretty much made everyone geek out over Chaka from 10pm till last call.


At 10pm, this crowd of hooligans had already lined up at the door and were ready for some hot butterflies. Nice side eye, Evans.


Nana IS every woman and then some. She was so jazzed on the Chaka that Eugene jumped in to play the more easy listening selections for the first hour. THROUGH THE FIRE.


Guest DJ Eugene (right) and his man cozying up to my most favorite soul jam ever, Between The Sheets.


Rafael, Jordan and Adam (from right) in the three phases of mustache growth.


Did you know Diego (left, with Charlie) handcrafts his own low-cut tank tops to show off the goods? I'm desperately trying to convince him to open up shop to me so I can have some new duds for London.


I love me a jumpsuit, catsuit or any ol' onesie, especially in canary yellow.


Soul/funk tinted glasses are a must at any chakaholic gathering.


My oh my. What do we have here and where can I sign up for one?


Lest we forget that Mikey (left, with Evans) is from New Jersey, he has recently let the words "shit roll" slip from his otherwise pristine mouth.


This was the closest anyone came to any type of Chaka wig or hair whatsoever, which is obviously three wigs short of of an actual Chaka Khan 'do.


DOUBLE YES! Stephen and Scott win the prize for their amazeballs Chaka and Rufus tshirts.


Kevin (left) and Willie, having an "I Feel For You, I think I love ya" kind of moment.


R.U. Bot or Not (left), with Andrew.


Extreme Brazilian closeup! I'm pretty sure that's Kelvin's finger too, which I wouldn't put near my lips for all the 3 Musketeers in the world.


EAST VILLAGE OF THE GIANTS returns! for the sole purpose of dwarfing Kelvin (center).


Already foaming at the mouth for next week's $2 beers all night at our Good Times Oktoberfest. Or maybe its the thought of me in Lederhosen, which will be a sight to behold.


Ain't Nobody does it better than Xander in a neon queen of the scene look.


GOOD TIMES!


After her dramatic ejection from Good Times two years ago, Kyra showed face and dress and pout all at once.


Scott O. (right) flew in all the way from China to check out Good Times. Well, not really, but his visit is long overdue and we promise to do a Moffits night or some other Canadian-themed shindig (Alanis!) next time he returns.


David Davis (left) has given up on San Francisco and is back in New York City, folks, meaning he'll miss my return to Booty Call and Some Thing at the Stud in November :(


Do You Love What You Feel, Mr. Charlie (left)?


Pretty much my favorite moment of the evening was when this gorgeous creature in a turtleneck and blazer climbed up on the pole...


...and then climbed down on the pole.


After hours can officially begin now that Michael T. (left) and Earl (right) are in attendance.


Brewster (left) and Andrew, who disappeared with Michael T. for an "extended boot session," whatever that means.


Thank you Eugene for the delicious Chaka tunes, pretzel rods and mini Toblerones! If you're still hungry for stink next week, we'll be bobbing for apples and serving up hot fresh tunes. xo

SCREAM AND SHOUT

Need the 3D glasses for this asap.

SUNSHINE & SUNSHOWERS

I'm not big on mash-ups but this seemed too fitting to pass up.
