INDIGO CELEBRATES 12 YEARS

Jesse Saunders, known as the godfather of house music, heads for Honolulu to celebrate the 12th anniversary of Indigo Eurasian Cuisine, downtown restaurant and after-hours hotspot. The party is from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. Nov. 17; it's for those 21 and older. Cover: $10, $12.

Besides Saunders, DJs from the past dozen years — G-Spot, SovernT, Ms. Angel, Nocturnal Sound Crew, Kavet the Catalyst and many others — are expected to take turns spinning the music, along with bands and hip-hop acts. There'll be prizes and giveaways; and a special menu created by chef Glenn Chu for you foodies out there. 591-3500.
