Join us on Saturday, June 27th at Eastern Palace Club for the third annual Pride edition of Happy Endings! What started as a long-overdue celebration three years ago has grown into one of our favorite traditions.

For us, this night has always meant more than just another party. With one of us proudly part of the LGBTQ+ community and the other a committed ally, Pride is woven into the DNA of Happy Endings. Our party has always been a space where ๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜†๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฒ ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐˜„๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฒ, but Pride Month gives us a chance to amplify that spirit and celebrate community, resilience, and joy at a time when LGBTQ+ people continue to face challenges to their rights and self-expression.

As always, we're offering an alternative to the mainstream Pride soundtrack, embracing the rebellious and uncompromising energy that has long fueled q***r culture and underground nightlife. Expect selections from DAF, Erasure, Soft Cell, The Smiths, The Slits, The B-52s, Bronski Beat, Buzzcocks, Kitchens of Distinction, Le Tigre, Dead or Alive, Suede, Throbbing Gristle, Pet Shop Boys, Bowie, and all the First Wave, post-punk, synth-pop, Britpop, and alt classics youโ€™ve come to expect from Happy Endings.

More than a dance party, this is a celebration of community and solidarity. A fitting end to Pride Month, and a reminder of why these spaces matter.

Not entirely sure how it's been two weeks since our May party, but time continues to move at a pace none of us agreed to.

Anyway, here are the pics from the party โ™ฅ๏ธ.

There were at least 48 other things happening that night, yet somehow y'all still found your way to EPC. We appreciate your dedication to keep doing this with us.

We celebrated three birthdays, welcomed a lot of new faces, and danced with all our favorite familiar ones. Thank you for showing up, for dancing, for bringing your friends, and for continuing to make this little thing we've built together feel bigger than a party.

Next up: Pride ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€โšง๏ธ

Our third annual Pride edition lands on Saturday, June 27th, and we're closing out the month the way we always do: dancing together. Showing up for each other. Celebrating q***r joy. Remembering why Pride still matters. All are welcome.

If previous years have taught us anything, it's that June arrives with a little extra sparkle and a noticeably weaker commitment to calling it a night.

We'll see you back at Eastern Palace Club on Sat, June 27th with peak summer energy ๐ŸŽ‰.

See you Saturday! ๐ŸŽ‰

With all the other parties happening Saturday, we thought it might be a quieter night, but you proved us wrong from the jump ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ.

So many new faces, along with all our favorite familiar ones. Spring has officially sprung, and the positivity in the room was palpable. That's what happens when we come together and dance it out.

We've got big plans for the coming months: surprise guests, our Pride edition in June, ticket giveaways, etc.
We'll see you back at EPC on Saturday, May 30th, with warm air, even warmer energy, and Mike's birthday celebration ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‚๐Ÿ’—.

For whatever reason, Iโ€™ve been thinking about this lyric a lot lately. โ€œOnly when youโ€™re dancing can you feel this free.โ€

Yes, itโ€™s Madonna, โ€œInto the Groove,โ€ one of my favorites. But it hits differently now. Since the 2024 election, this party has become something more for me, an outlet, an escape, a reset. Thereโ€™s something powerful about dancing with your people, all of us navigating the same noise, looking for the same spark of joy. For a few hours, it really does feel like freedom.

And yeah, we play Madonna. No irony, no guilt. Sheโ€™s always been a boundary-pusher, a champion for the LGBTQ community, and part of the culture that shaped spaces like this. I still remember buying Like a Prayer and Disintegration on cassette the same week in โ€™89, released just a few weeks apart. Both felt right. Both belonged.

Thatโ€™s kind of what this is about. Finding that feeling again. Together. On the dancefloor.

See you Saturday ๐Ÿ’—

Thank you โ™ฅ๏ธ Our March party felt like we officially stopped hibernating. It was the first party of spring, after a winter that overstayed its welcome in just about every way. It also marked three years of Happy Endings at Eastern Palace Club ๐ŸŽ‰. You filled the room early and made it clear winter was finished. We'll see you back at EPC on Saturday, April 25. Warmer air, same energy.
