Andy Irons inducted
into ‘Wall of Fame’ABOUT FOUR years have passed since local surfer Sunny Garcia was inducted into the Hard Rock Cafe's "Wall of Fame" in Waikiki.
Tonight, fellow boardrider Andy Irons joins Garcia in that elite group during a celebration at the restaurant from 5 to 7 p.m.
Irons is in town to screen a new movie, called "Blue Horizon," that he stars in with Australian surfer Dave Rastovich. The film, directed by Jack McCoy, is an effort to bring surfing to the big screen, instead of relegating the sport to DVDs that fans can only watch at home.
"Blue Horizon" screens at 8 p.m. tonight and tomorrow at the Blaisdell Concert Hall before moving out to the old Haleiwa Gym at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. on Saturday.
Tickets are $10, but you can pick up $8 presales at any Hawaiian Island Creations, Local Motion or Town and Country Surf location ...
FISHERMAN'S WHARF tosses its hat into the ultralounge fray this week with "The Living Room" from 10 p.m. to 4 a.m. tonight, tomorrow and Saturday.
Tonight serves as the soft opening for the new party, which translates into free cover for all you nightcrawlers on a budget.
DJs Dave Hanh, Ms. Angel, Miklos and Archangel will spin tonight, with DJs RiseUp, Haboh and the guys from Nitelite on deck for tomorrow.

This week features a special "Retro Fantasy" hair show, with former Miss Hawaii USA Justine Michioka and former Miss Hawaii Teen USA Kaitlyn Metcalf sporting hairstyles by Salon 808. Doors open at 9 p.m. tomorrow night at the restaurant, with the show getting started around midnight ...
