Porpe and I are both unloading our cameras that are filled with day and nightlife from the contest this weekend. It was nice to be around as a spectator instead of overworked madmen for the first time.
Brad Staba and Erica Yary first thing in the morning, totally normal, un-turned up, just sitting there taking a photo all regular like a tourist. I got nothing to say here. This is why chill cam dumps are better after midnight.
Profile: Brad StabaThis is Stephen Oliveira who shot the super good Tampa Pro photos from yesterday. Thanks for the contribution, Stephen!
I thought Chaz had it for a while in the Finals. It's crazy that you can see a kickflip backside tailslide backside flip out in a run these days.

Profile: Scotty Conley aka The BodyNow I'm going through Porpe's chill cam dump. He used the fisheye all night and has quite a truckload of classic party flicks, starting with this one in Scotty's house for the Shaqueefa premiere.
Profile: Scotty Conley aka The BodyNow we're in Ybor for your standard sauce induced good times. Jaime Owens, Chris Troy, David, and Porpe. Porpe seemed to have his camera in other people's hands most of the night. That's how I like to run it sometimes.

Profile: Rob MeronekAmelia has Porpe's camera right now and I'm making her go around the room and shoot a photo with me and everyone in here to make it look like I should be winning nightlife when in reality I snuck out shortly after midnight, putting me in DFL as far as the raging goes.

Profile: Jereme KnibbsThe last time Louie Lopez saw me, I was the drunkest I've ever been in my life. I was in much better shape this time.
Profile: Louie LopezPorpe and more locals. If you don't have a hand gesture to throw up in your party photo, the wide open mouth is definitely just as kewl.
Profile: Treshan OshaughnessyPJ, Jata, Buggica, Body, Stiener, and a dude who I had a full conversation with about how we forget names. Yep, forgot your name again. Damn.
Profile: Pat StienerShots are a mandatory trick in your run to get your first place in nightlife.
Profile: Joe Pelham aka HiDefJoeThe open shirt is another one in the bag of tricks to win you first in nightlife. Danny Cerezini looks like a natural.
