I think we finally found an apartment (what a horrible experience renting is here)... but we'll be in Moiliili, 24th floor, view out toward Waikiki and Ala Moana across to the Manoa valley. It's sweet... very Hon Kong-ish at night.

Yeah, the renting situation is terrible... that's pretty much why I said screw the city, I'm living on the coast! And by all means post your pics, seems that the number of forumers here keeps growing all the time!

Well, that depends on the kind of luau you're going to. A lot of the hotels all over the island (waikiki, north shore and koolina) put on luaus for the tourists with hula dancing, suckling pigs, etc. Haven not actually been to any of these (hey, I live here! I've never para sailed, gone to the Polynesian cultural center or tried to surf ala moana either) I don't think you have to bring your food. You either pay up front or its included in the hotel tab.
I can't see how it would be hard to crash one though, since all the beaches are public property.
I've been to a number of private luaus ranging from just me and a bunch of local friends having a traditional type cookout on the beach, a wedding and a family reunion me and a friend crashed, thinking it was the aforementioned wedding (it look a couple hours before we realized our mistake- they were cool though
)
Those things are a strictly byob affair for me, since I dunno where you can get whole pig. My friends actually hunted the ones we had in the Pali

If you haven't made plans already, recommend saying at Hale Koa in Waikiki, or Royal Alakai at Hickam. But unless you're lucky, you need to book far in advance

I'll try to make time to go there this weekend. I wish I had time to do a walking photo tour of the city
Cheers,
