The biggest thing going for retro culture lovers over the past weekend was, of course, Hukilau 2009. Los Straitjackets headlined the weekend's biggest show, Friday night at the Bahia Cabana hotel. There are a ton of amazing photos of the whole event on Phinzup's Flickr photostream.

Mr. Bali Hai took a bunch as well, including this one taken aboard the Tikki Beach boat.
