NEXTDOOR 10TH ANNIVERSARY PARTY
AT NEXTDOOR
For the last 10 years, amazing things have happened at Nextdoor — like that time a few years back when Blue Scholars stopped in to make it “feel sorta like Blaisdell.” There’s been art, fashion, dancing — everything. So celebrate its 10th anniversary with a gold-themed birthday party, complete with drinks, pupus, a midnight balloon drop and more. Doors open at 6 p.m., and there’s no cover charge. A portion of the night’s proceeds will go to owner Daniel Gray and Metro columnist Christa Wittmier in support of their ongoing battles with cancer.

THE STORY OF EVERYTHING
AT MAMIYA THEATRE
So, we could try explaining poet laureate and HawaiiSlam founder Kealoha’s new show, The Story of Everything, but this one might be better simply experienced. In a nutshell, it’s the story of creation, which will draw on just about everything — poetry, visual art, music, dancing and more — to tell how it all came to be. The show starts at 7 p.m. and tickets cost $5-$15. To learn more about the show, see the article in last week’s Metro at metrohnl.com.
