*HELP AMPLIFY, PLEASE!*
The party ends, but the legacy of the work and love cultivated live on. 🌹 We hope you’ll come take a twirl with us Saturday, and reunite next year when we’ll honor 15 years of creating queer community connection and joy with a proper farewell to the party we’ve loved so much. What a gift that we get to say goodbye together.

The Slo ‘Mo monthly residency has created a platform for queer & trans women and femmes to explore and grow their artistry, and our guest features have amplified hundreds of DJs and performers. Please keep investing in your *local* creative communities and supporting queer, trans, Black and Brown women & femmes in music & culture. This is a group project.

Slo ‘Mo at Sleeping Village has been able to support a robust and growing roster of talent with your support since 2022. Flowers for the 2025 Slo ‘Mo Family:

@vitigrrl - Resident DJ
@iceybby - Resident DJ
Godmutha @addicted2blak - Resident Host & Healer
@empressdarlingshear - Resident Choreographer & Performer
@missangelicagrace - Resident Performer
@gemini_rising - Resident Graphic Designer
@erik.m.kommer - Resident Photographer
@b_urself13 - Hospitality, Stage Management
@blackboijoy_ - Hospitality, Social Media
@partymomchi - Producer, Host

We are so grateful to every person who’s shown us love, and to the @whistlerchicago / @sl33pingvillag3 family for supporting us since Day 1. There’s more to say in time, but know this: The decision was made in solidarity and with gratitude, not out of conflict or scarcity. We hope this inspires you to embrace change and show reverence for the things, histories, places and people you hold dear.

Thank you, Chicago, for the history that paved the way for us and the platform to carry on our musical and queer legacies. 🪩

Everybody’s free to feel good ✨ Sunday is our last twirl of summer. We’ve had an incredible Old Gold season at Guild Row and can’t wait to close it out with you! @goodgirlsdjs will be dropping serotonin drenched sounds all afternoon, and with their collective 60+ years of experience, all you gotta do is show up and groove.

Queer love and friendship is the antidote to the times. 💕 Hold each others faces, hands, heartbreak, wins and woes: We in this together. The dance floor always makes it better. 🪩

We are closing a really sweet summer on Sunday and can’t wait to bask in the glory of queer joy. Thank you for making this season of Old Gold such a beautiful balm month after month.

@goodgirlsdjs are back on the decks for the best all-vinyl vibes. Strongly recommend advance purchase (and soon) but tix will be available at the door, as always.

Thank you @erik.m.kommer for these gorgeous photos (posted at link in bio!) and our partners at @guildrow , @littlelarkchicago , @sanpellegrino_us , @donjuliotequila and @djphatmanchicago for being the dream team!

Sapphic in September! 💕 It’s been an incredible season and we are so excited to go out with a BANG Sept 13 for our final Old Gold of summer. You are all so gorgeous and gracious and we’ve had an absolute blast. Keep an eye out for fall/winter Old Gold happenings, but let’s close this one with big queer joy!

Thank you to @littlelarkchicago , @guildrow and @donjuliotequila for being incredible hospitality partners and @djphatmanchicago for the next level audio! As always, our resident archivist @erik.m.kommer has captured queer beauty and love so magnificently. All photos are at the link in bio.

STRONGLY RECOMMEND advance purchase. We have sold out advance tix every month and expect the season closer to be our busiest.

Celebrating a milestone? Coming from out of town? Wish Old Gold would come to your city? 😉 We wanna know!! Drop a comment or send a dm.
