Celebrate the first TRUE First Friday of 2010 tonight in Chinatown. January didn’t count, as New Year’s Day was a Friday, so it was more of a New Year’s party.
BUT, this Friday is highlighted by a performance from one of the Godfathers of Hip-Hop, Kool Herc. He’ll be at Next Door spinning the dopest hits tat you may or may not remember, along with putting down a lesson on how the originators got down with hip-hop.
If this show matches the buzz that came out of his first show on Wednesday, everyone will be in for a treat.
This goes down tonight in Cinatown at Next Door (43 Hotel St.). Get there early to make sure you get a good spot.
Coming strong in the second month of the year, the Fitted Ohana is releasing a combo pack that must be seen to be believed.
First up is the next version of the hard-hitting MUA hat. This time, the piece features a grey wool treatment with a royal blue brim and a khaki underbill. The MUA logo is adorned in blue, white, orange, and black, topped off with an orange button.
The shirt is definitely one for the shoe heads out there, as it features the ALOHA Served Daily logo freaked in the classic Nike ACG logo. The ASD is rocking the same colorway as the MUA logo and the back features the Fitted crown with a speckle fill.
These both drop at the Kona St. headquarters this Saturday at 11am. I have no doubt that this set will sell out on release day, so you best get on it if you wanna get a piece of this hotness.
As usual with all Fitted releases: First Come, First Served. No phone orders, holds or reservations.

The 11th Annual Hypersquad Dance Concert is both amazing and bittersweet.
The amazing part is that 30 past and present choreographers have joined in and helped with part of the show. The other amazing part is that this is the first show under the direction of new Hypersquad directors Josh Ulep and Casey Kalahiki. Yet another amazing part is this show consists of 25 different numbers and keeps it going for almost three hours.
The bittersweet part is that this is Jason Ulep’s (Newkon) final show for Hypersquad before he makes the big leap to Los Angeles. The other bittersweet part is that the show is missing some key members due to HYPE 5-O making it on to MTV’s America’s Best Dance Crew competition.
But, this will still be the amazing show that Hypersquad is known to put out year after year.
This year’s concerts take place this Saturday at McKinley High School Theater. The first show is at 12:30pm with special guest Comedian David Lee getting things started at 12:15pm. The second show starts at 5:30pm, with David Lee taking the stage 15 minutes before that.
Tickets are $20 at the door and this will be a packed house, so be prepared for the logistics and parking situations that could unfold at that time.
This will be an amazing show and tickets are more than likely to sell out, so get there early for best selection.
