​Dress up in clothing inspired by the era, and dance like there's no tomorrow! Bring your valentine or maybe meet a new valentine on the dance floor!
Your host DJ Action Slacks will spin 45 rpm records from the Atomic Age: R&B, early rock n roll, soul, garage rock, rockabilly, girl groups, and pop records from the 1950s & 1960s. Familiar favorites with fun rarities!
Have an ATOMIC BLAST on the dance floor!
​
In these tumultuous times, it might be a good idea to take inspiration from the people of mid-century America - The Original Atomic Age.
How did they deal with their feelings? Mostly they danced about it. They danced, and danced, and danced and danced. They invented so many whimsical dance steps until they had danced the worry right out of them!
So won't you please set aside your cares for a night, and join me for an Atomic Age-Oldies Party.
Like all editions of Flame Vintage Vinyl Dance Party, this event is open to all kind-hearted people, but is geared toward the Portland LGBTQmunity & its allies.

OFFICIAL DJ ACTION SLACKS EVENT
February 13th - Friday
Vintage Vinyl Dance Party & Inclusive Pop-Up Lezzie Bar 1970s, 1980s, & a dash of 90s
​​
WHEN - Friday, Feb 13th
TIME - 9 pm to the Midnight Hour
WHERE - The Spare Room
ADMISSION - $10 (cash or Venmo)
​
I have to admit, watching yet another Portland lesbian bar disappear has been deeply disappointing. While Portland likely has one of the highest populations of queer women per capita in the country, non–sports-related, gay lady–centered nightlife remains far less supported than it should be.
Still, we need spaces to gather - and we need a variety of them. That’s why I’m stepping in to produce a pop-up, inclusive lezzie bar dance party for vintage music lovers, hosted at my much-loved former Sugar Town home: The Spare Room. I'm naming it The Jett Set after one of the coolest, most dykenamic musicians of all time - Joan Jett.
​
I, DJ Action Slacks, will be DJing the night with my own alter egos: DJ Guilty Pleasure & DJ Obvious Choice, with all three versions of me spinning a variety of vintage vinyl from the 1970s & 1980s, plus a dash of the 1990s. Expect rare dance-floor delights, beloved "cool" classics, & songs you’ll want to sing along to. Funky Soul, Pop, Rock, Funk, Punk, Hip-Hop, Disco, and more!
​
Whether you’re looking for a joyful night out with friends or hoping to make some new "connections", this event is designed to fill your big gay cup with music, camaraderie, & love. Please come dance, and help spread the word.
$10 at the door
