Then Friday at Eighth & Rail! Most folks just know him as R.C. He’s actually Richard Cecil and is many things to many folks. To the regulars of Cafe 123, he’s one of the Bow Tied waiters that makes your salad and pours your wine. To those that follow the fight game, he’s at home in the ring. And if you’ve noticed the ecletic selection of art on the walls of Cafe 123, well, that is the work of RC as well. Honestly, no two pieces are ever the same.
Well, Saturday Night, October 18th is a chance to see some of his new works. Not what you’ve seen before, but things he’s been sneaking into the Tavern the past few weeks and hiding with the ghost on the second floor. The event dubbed, Drinking and Drawing (I like the way this guy thinks) will feature “The Recent Works of RC”. His friends in the band “JAK” will perform. That’s Saturday, October 18th and it all starts at 7PM!
