On the Grid — 3/11/15
Mar. 11 WED
HNL SOUP
AT 2 N. HOTEL ST.
This “micro-granting” dinner celebrates and supports creative projects in Honolulu. A $12 donation for the night will get you soup, salad, bread and a vote. Three groups present on topics ranging from urban agriculture to social entrepreneurship, and attendees get to vote on the project they think will benefit the city most. The winner goes home with the monies raised that night. facebook.com/hnlsoup
Mar. 13 FRI
THE RED DRESS BALL
AT HULA’S BAR & LEI STAND
The night promises a mix of red dress fashion and fun drag — all part of a fundraiser in which 100 percent of proceeds benefit Life Foundation. (It should come as no surprise that the dress code requires you to wear red.) Tickets are a $10 donation at the door, but a $15 ticket purchased in advance also will get you a free drink. Or, splurge with friends and get a $100 table for four, which comes with a $20 bar tab. hulas.com

NEARVANA
AT THE REPUBLIK
Yes, you read that correctly — Nearvana, not Nirvana. But, if it’s any consolation, this tribute band pretty much perfectly emulates the look and sound of its original counterpart. Their show at The Republik kicks off at 8 p.m. Tickets cost $20, with a $25 increase the day of the show — so get your tickets now. jointherepublik.com

TECH N9NE
