IMPORTANT GOOD TIMES UPDATE THIS WEDNESDAY - VENUE CHANGE - Please read and pass on...

Greetings to our Good Times community. We were informed on Monday that performer Neil Young added a Wednesday date to his concert thus displacing our party this week. The good news is that we have been blessed with the use of another beautiful space very close by called "ERA" located just a few blocks away from The Den. But wait there's more; we can also continue to party past Midnight!!! Also, we will have access to both the beautiful upstairs and downstairs bar and lounge areas. You're not gonna believe how sexy and gorgeous this space is. I'm excited to say we're in for some seriously GOOD TIMES this Wednesday!

"kain'bigan" is whippin up something extra special and delicious for us to eat,
DJs Jac A Tac and myself are ready to take you back and forth through classic joynts to current hits just the way you like it,
MC Mona Webb is standin by; check one, check two...
and we're all ready to come together again to help us get over the hump this Wednesday.

It's Good Times baby! If you haven't been lately or ever at all, this is a night you don't wanna miss. Beautiful women, beautiful space, beautiful vibe, amazing food, great music and all for free...

Please spread the good word...

Mad love to Kevin, Ann, and the entire ERA fam for taking care of us on such short notice. Much respect and appreciation.

-DJ Olga T & The Good Times Crew
