Quennect 4 Benefit Dance Party @ Danny's

Do you remember the story about Quennect 4 that we published last year in A/C? No? This awesome Humboldt Park venue for all forms of art with a strong slant toward world music and local politics was shut down by the city last year, and since then they've been fund raising to relocate-- putting on events around town at places like Multikulti, Wickerwell, and The Music Lounge. Tonight they're hosting a big ole' FREE fundraiser/dance party at Danny's Tavern (1951 W. Dickens) with Peace Party DJs Naomi Walker & Dave Marques + Special Guests DJs Raj Majal & Nate Wells spinning funk, soul, and afrobeat all night. A portion of all sales will be donated toward Q4's mission to reopen legitimately this year. The party is 21+ from 7pm to 2am. No cover charge, as far as we can tell...

Second Story @ Webster Wine Bar

Sip a glass of wine and listen as Second Story's master performers take on the theme of journeys: "Whether they're physical or emotional, they transport us from one place to another. A road trip, a cab ride, a trip to Thailand and a bus fare across town - join our storytellers this month and hear stories about the mileage and psychic distances travelled to take a stand for who we are."

Storytellers: JC Aveliotis, Shiow-Jiau Yung, Johanna Stein, and Doug Whippo. Curated by Deb Lewis. Directed by Megan O'Donoghue. Sound by Andrew Wheatley.

Doors @ 7pm. Stories start at 7:30pm. $10 online, $15 at the door. Limited number of walk-ups available.
