Happy birthday, R.J. Melman

Ever had trouble convincing people to come out and party with you on your birthday? Here’s what you do: Invite some of the country’s top DJs to your own personal bar and let the good times roll.

Ok, we know not everyone is R.J. Melman, the soon-to-be 31-year-old co-owner of HUB 51 in River North. Instead of trying to be, just head over to his birthday festivities this weekend at the bar/restaurant’s subterranean lounge, SUB 51. Eclectic New York DJ M.O.S. (Friday, 9 p.m.-2 a.m.) and LA hip-hop DJ Spider (Saturday, 9 p.m.-3 a.m.) will be there to help him blow out the candles in style.
