Bill Murray is [quickly ](http://time.com/2864357/bill-murray-crashed-an-engagement-photo-shoot-because-hes-bill-murray/)becoming one of the most[ prolific ](http://theconcourse.deadspin.com/bill-murray-crashes-bachelor-party-gives-awesome-speec-1581953280)party [crashers](http://newsfeed.time.com/2011/01/06/lost-in-translation-bill-murray-crashes-karaoke-night/) of his generation. This weekend, he showed up at a birthday celebration in the suburbs of Charleston, South Carolina, and, of course, was totally the life of the party.

As always, the details of why and how Murray ended up at this gathering are a bit hazy. [According to](http://www.postandcourier.com/article/20140914/PC0313/140919675) the _Post and Courier_, the actor’s invitation came from Marvin Larry Reynolds, who hosted the party. Charleston chef Bret McKee, who the _Post and Courier_ describes as Murray’s “long-time friend,” catered the event and was kind enough to share photos and videos on Facebook.

Here he is at the head of the table:

Here he is dancing to “867-5309/Jenny”:

And also “Turn Down For What”:

And then, since Murray’s own birthday is coming up (he’s turning 64 on Sep. 21), he blew out some candles:

The actor owns a home in Charleston and it seems like he’s been spending a decent chunk of his time there recently, so if you’re in the area, keep your eyes peeled. He could be anywhere. Though if you see him, [no one](http://gawker.com/5591356/bill-murray-on-the-bill-murray-no-one-will-ever-believe-you-urban-legend) will ever believe you.
