After the C.S. Wo party Saturday night, I moved on to the Peter Lik Gallery at Waikiki Beach Walk, where the photographer had arrived for a surprise visit on short notice.

Lik has been traveling the globe opening galleries from New York to Dubai over the course of a year, but as you can see, he’s kept his macho Outback fashion sense!

Waikiki Beach Walk is so popular that it was hard to find parking. Valets set us over to the Outrigger, who tried to send us to another hotel, which sounded like an ordeal, so we just went to the DeRussy lot, which is a lot less of a hassle than dealing with the wait of using the valets.

After the party, Japan celebrity chef Mario Frittoli, his hosts and Masako Nashimoto and Anthony Gambino of Nashimoto & Associates decided to check out Nobu’s. I was kind of tired so declined an invitation to join them. I found out from Anthony later that they bumped into another celeb at Nobu’s later that night … a post-concert Sting.
