Blue Hawaii flickered above the inside bar, and Elvis looked down on the buffet spread offering pulled pork, chicken wings and pineapple slaw to stave off drunkenness.
Not that anyone was watching The King… The real party was see-and-be-seen drink-in-hand around the candle-filled fireplace outside.

We’re just bummed we didn’t get a photo of the guy in the Shriners’ hat and surfboard-print-shirt… Ow, our eyes! At least you’ve been spared the sight, right?
We’re betting he didn’t get lei’d… but these girls might have.
Nothing like getting a bunch of your friends together and crashing a birthday party, right?! Especially one with good music, free food and a steady flow of liquor.
