last call – the target x games after party

Ever since I moved to the Valley of Los Angeles eight years ago, I pretty much wiped myself off the face of the Hollywood social scene. No one visits me. No one invites me anywhere. Heck, for most of my friends they think I live just south of San Francisco. I know, cue the violin and call for a waaaaaaambulance, but the fact of the newsworthy matter is that if someone had invited me to this alleged X Games after-party that was apparently sponsored by Target and took place somewhere in Hollywood, I just might be able to tell you a few more pertinent details about it. But they didn’t. So I can’t. Yeah, I know, it’s the age of the “enternet” and all that iFucking stuff, and I should probably just text Kosick for a few simple details, but that would be responsible of me and everyone knows that alcohol and responsibility don’t always go hand-in-hand. Judging from the skewed looks of a few faces in these photos, alcohol definitely was a party factor, so in the slothful spirit of booze here’s a “Last Call” courtesy of flick-poppers Rick Kosick and Dimitry Elyashkevich.

Men’s men, Chris Pontius and Mat Hoffman.

Nitro Circus’ Erik “Rubberneck” Roner, Annika Dahl, and the mouth of Dickhouse Jeff Tremaine.

Loomis Fall and Mat Hoffman buddy up with former Del Mar Skate Ranch high flier Lester Kasai.

Skateboard stalwart Dave Duncan, turn coat Red Coat Ian Deacon, and someone who looks familiar but whose name escapes me at present. Damn, guess I should’ve texted Kosick after all…

Dimitry and Jolene Van Vugt mug it up while Tremaine attempts to fuck it up.

Now here’s a fearsome fivesome: Loomis, Tremaine, Hoffman, Kosick, and X Games ruler Rune Glifberg.
