when i pulled up this morning, there was no parking at all. totally full and nobody leaving. so we left and i was planning to park my car somewhere else, then i get a call from my friend Lance, “hey kirby, come back, you can have my parking.” omg! i did a U-turn and he was waiting for me. stoked to have awesome friends like that.

they had a flotilla party in the water off waikiki beach. the reason people do this is because it is illegal to drink alcohol on any beach in hawaii. if you get caught, you will go to jail. BUT, it’s legal to drink alcohol in the ocean. yeah, so have a flotilla right off the beach and everybody can party! it just goes to show you that everybody is thinking of a ways around the law.

the sad thing is when the party people leave, they also leave their rubbish behind. yes, this is what waikiki beach looked like the next morning. so many locals were shocked to see this, including me.

surfers get really upset seeing things like this. why would anybody want to litter the ocean and beaches? i just don’t understand.
