Flame: Vintage Vinyl Dance Party presents Halloween Freak-Off Dance Party!
- 8:00pm Saturday, October 12, 2024
Come dance to seasonal vintage vinyl of the 1950s, 60s, 70s & beyond! Freak-out to mystical sounds of the past! Wear a costume or outfit inspired by the supernatural season! Invent your own supernatural-inspired dance step to share with our party guests! Brrring your furrrrrrrrriends! Meow!
ALSO, Help celebrate the Dance Hall of Flame induction of music-makers who recorded some of my seasonal favorites: Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Peggy Lee, Claudine Clark, Jimmy Smith, and Redbone. GIVEAWAYS including, (while supplies last), each party guest will receive a free set of bubble gum cards I've designed for each of the above artists.
* On Saturday, Oct 12 I, DJ Action Slacks, will be eerily producing my 12th vintage-inspired Halloween dance party in Portland! AND it'll be the10th one co-DJed by Wildman James (of Morgan & the Organ Donors)!
BUT that's not the only DJ anniversary I'll be celebrating on Oct 12. It will also mark the 30th anniversary of my first time DJing in public and in general. WHOA!
Yes, 30 years ago, Khaela Maricich (who later started the band The Blow & my nextdoor neighbor in the Evergreen State College dorms) invited me to DJ at a Halloween party taking place in a barn with a dirt floor located in the middle of the forest somewhere in the pitch-black dark of night in Olympia, WA. If you think Portland is/was weird, it is NOTHING compared to Olympia in the mid-1990s!
