Brightest Young Things


In case you missed all the signs (and there were plenty of them), we hosted an afterparty for the first night of AFI's week long "Blow Up" run last Friday (the movie is still on till Thursday-go see it).
It was pretty awesome, if I say so myself.
Mark Zimin of Mousetrap did perfectly on the audio side of things, people were in a great mood, and our intrepid team of photographers took some amazing portraits of the attendees, proving once again that-you put people in front of a background, point a camera at them, and you seriously don't know what may happen.

Here: Photos by
Joel Didriksen and Dakota Fine

Kicking off with Dakota:

Disgusting as usual. Letting people expose themselves in this manner is pure exploitation, nothing less. You all have no shame, and it shows.

But I don't see any ironic t-shirts?

3 years ago Michael said

Actually this was a good event - the movie, snore as it was, sold out (I'll have to remember that movies I see while drinking with friends in a living room don't really translate to the same experience on screen), people hung out and drank afterwards and discussed the movie and photography, people appeared to enjoy the free photographs being taken, the music was good and period specific, and I didn't see any dudes with headbands.

Hi Eddie. I was talking bout the cool Red Tee, not the black Tee on the cutie. Is that something related to BYT?

3 years ago eddie said

josh,
a) i knew what you were referring to, but sometimes i think i'm funny even though i clearly am not.
2) i have no clue what the red shirt is from, but yes, it is pretty good.

michael - just do it, you lazy, lazy man, you. it's super easy. they will sell like handguns.

fyi, party glass loves the smiths.

3 years ago Svetlana said

for the record, that last mean comment some mean commentator left I DELETED.
not cale.
cale would have approved it because cale is a bigger man (this is coming out wrong) than I am woman.

if you, mean commentator, whoever you are, would like to reprise the comment, we WILL approve it this time.
because, apparently, we don't care.

3 years ago Lex said

dakota's pict of alexandra is so righteously staggering.

orange you glad

3 years ago player player, dragon slayer said

it is TERRIBLY apparent that you do not CARE, Svetlana.. and yeah, that did come out wrong.

i wish you would've posted and not deleted, ftr. mean or not, that shit is true!

i thought my comment was pretty accurate; his girlfriends are getting uglier and more mannish! now, it would be accurate to say that she IS more of a man than Cale - but you? idk - i think anyone stating that Cale being a bigger anything than anyone is just.. wishful thinking! maybe it is his deteriorating nostrils all of these coke whores are so drawn to? OMGLOLZ KEKEKE CALE! YOUR COKE NOSE IS SHOWING!
