MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!: Kevin Scott, left, talked backstage with guitarist James Burton, center, and "Uncle Tom" Moffatt during intermission for "Elvis the Concert" at the Blaisdell Arena on Sunday. Burton, who toured with Elvis from 1969 until Elvis's death in 1977, said that the 1973 show in Blaisdell Arena was one of his all-time favorites "... and Elvis was really up for it, too." Scott brought a vinyl copy of one of Burton's solo albums to the show and was delighted to get Burton's autograph.

A TRUE FAN AND A STAR PERFORMER: Myrna Smith of the Sweet Inspirations had changed into something comfortable by the time she signed Scott Fisher's souvenir program backstage after the show. Fisher had flown out from Oregon to see "Elvis the Concert" for the 15th time. Smith, who worked with Elvis from 1969 until his death, just about stole the show Sunday with her charismatic high-energy performance.

SOUL PROVIDERS: Honolulu events promoter Goldenchild, center, talked with Kimo James, left, and Trace as the duo's "Provide Soul Lounge"party was getting underway late Sunday night at the Wave Waikiki. The release date of their debut album, "A day in the life..." has been pushed back but tracks are available at www.getwithtrace.com.

H-UNIT AND FRIENDS: H-Unit Halla, left, Trina Orta, Lauren New and Tracie Fukunaga partied long past midnight as "Provide Soul Lounge" featured a multi-media performance by Noxious, and a powerful set by Emric, DJ Syze and Hao. Pure rap/hip hop events can be a hard sell in Honolulu but this one drew a good crowd.

BUCK$ FOR ELAINE!: Elaine Cordilla, second from left, was surounded by friends at The Wave on Tuesday. Matty "Matty Boy" Hazelgrove guarded the donations box while Raena Cassidy, left, iNTREPiD, and Nikki McMullen showed their support. Cordilla hopes to represent Hawaii in the Miss Palms Hotel Pageant in Vegas.
