Connie’s Ric Rac is back in biz, and they’ll be celebrating their official grand re-opening and good buddy Maxx Stoyanoff-Williams’ 40th birthday tonight so expect things to get rowdy in the heart of the Italian Market! Maxx and the funky fresh crew of Black Landlord will be headlining the event. The Tartaglio Brothers (Frank and Angelo), your hosts, will be taking the stage with their band The Discount Heroes (great name) and their groovy radio-friendly folk rock along with psychedelic garage rockers St. James & The Apostles. Spinning throughout the evening will be DJ Sean Smoove. BTW: Whispering in the door man’s ear the secret-but-not-so-secret password “tits” for guys and “swallows” for girls will get you $5 off the admission and hopefully not a stiffie on your leg. Free Fried Chicken!!! Door prizes (and it won’t be the stiffie)! Don’t forget that they have a liquor license now so NO BYOB! The comedy portion of the festivities will be tomorrow evening. Connie’s Ric Rac, 1132 S. 9th St., 8pm, $15, 21+ – H.M. Kauffman
