Friday

"Frost," 10 p.m. at the O Lounge. Cover: $10. Call 944-8436.

Give the O Lounge credit -- the Kapiolani Blvd. night-spot continues to refresh itself with a variety of one-time events and theme parties.

"Frost" promises to provide relief from our hot summer weather, with additional air conditioning units employed to create a true-to-life chill spot, and burlesque dancers "The Ex-Girlfriends" providing eye candy for the evening. An ice bar will be installed to keep drinks cold.

Saturday and Sunday

"DJ Z-Trip," 9 p.m. at NextDoor. Cover: $25. Call 550-0496.

After having so much fun here in November, Los Angeles' DJ Z-Trip returns with big plans for this weekend.

First, he'll spin both Saturday and Sunday at NextDoor. Saturday is a 21-and-over show; Sunday an 18-and-over one. Creed Chameleon will host, with the Nocturnal Sound Krew opening on Saturday and Kavet the Catalyst on Sunday.

In addition, Z-Trip will record both sets for future release on CD. Be sure to bust out a "cheeee-huuuuu" or two for posterity while you're there!

Wednesday

"Kim Char Meredith CD Release Party," 7 p.m. at Unity Church. Tickets: $15. Call 545-2848.

Former Hawaii resident Kim Char Meredith returns home for the release of her eighth studio release.

A Hawaii Music Award winner for "Favorite Pop Recording Artist" and Hoku Award nominee, Char Meredith last performed here in 2005 as the opening act for Melissa Etheridge.
