Back in January, Ellie was sitting at dinner listening to her boyfriend Max fret about turning 30. Max, feeling as if the act of leaving your 20s behind immediately propels you straight to the frailty of old age (and therefore impending death), described how his life would be at age 30: “Life is basically over, I’ll be wearing my Hawaiian print shirts, drinking tropical drinks and doing the congo as long as my hips can stand it.” This absurd statement was the birth of our next Damn Good Shindig: The Vintage Tiki Party.
