Middle fingers, peace signs and all sorts of PDA were seen in spades at the Roadkill premiere. See the right way to celebrate your favorite street production. —Ted Schmitz
When I heard it was at Lou’s Athletic Club, I thought it was for jocks. But this seems like the right crowd
Yep, there’s my certified-not-jock friend Spencer running the door—or waiting for more friends
Headphones on the session? Nah. Headphones at the premiere? Sure
Fuck yeah, we got pros rolling up. The quotable Mr. Spears and Astoria’s finest Marcello Campanello link with industry insider Spencer Gillespie
Damn, it’s packed inside
Tonight’s his night. New York’s son Naquan Rollings!
I think Chuckie Lane wanted to show him some new spots
But he caught on quick. Let’s check the back
Usually it’s just incense and weed smoke behind these kinds of curtains
Here there’s just a room of homies. First up, we got the scene’s finest jeweler George William and star of the show Pero Simic
Yeah, I know the guy who made this
Long Islanders and Minnesotans alike trekked in for it. Matt Schleyer, Pete Spooner, Mathias Rotstein and Sigs
Hella goodwill in the crowd—Will See and Wille Swain showed up with some G-rated pranks in the pocket
Satan always posting Ls. Ask Sumner
Mathias brought his peace for Sima and Chacho
Tattoos and attitude, Sima and Stephanie got ‘em in surplus
And they know flatground god James Sayers? Pretty cool
Who here has had clips in a Mark Suciu part? Tristen? Frankie? Matt? Yes
That wholesome hype you get from West Coast bros. Will and Pero reunited
Takin’ the night off from Columbus Circle, Franco makes an appearance
Steven and Franco in stereo
They got WiFi at Lou’s? Who cares, we got 56k here
Delgado is green as shit, kid
Brooklyn’s freshest transplant Tristen Rowean was giddy with anticipation
Is it me or is this a better lookin’ crowd than usual?
It’s a better lookin’ crowd. George, Pero and Steven prove it
Love was in the air
Lensman Sam McKenna and Queens’ kid Max had to give Pero his props
Rough section for a reservation
Damn, Carl! I thought we were cool!
Photobomb by the photobooth, not even Naquan’s family was safe from the pranks
I think that smirk means it’s showtime
We got it playing two times, B
Drake Johnson went with the big screen for full effect
Seems like the crowd’s into it
Confirmed!
They're really into it
If you don’t bring this kinda energy to a premiere, you’re blowing it
Gassed the fuck up
A lotta people would die for that kiss
Queezy’s cool with just a hug
Auteur and animator. Check that subway scene for Stephanie’s fine work
What the fuck, dude, I’m just trying to get a nice photo of the fam
Alright, that’s better
So that’s what you’re doin’ when you’re late for dinner?
All smiles with Siddiq. Looks like it’s about time to wrap up
One more look at the Rockaway rails though
The Rollings raise ‘em right
From LES to the big screen. These dudes have put their time in
Thanks for the good hang, fellas!
KB, you too? I can’t catch a break tonight. Still stoked to see good company with Naquan the mysterious masked man. No wait, that's K White. Goodnight, everyone. We’ll see you in the streets
