Thrasher Magazine’s SOTY party went off at the Great American Music Hall on Friday night December 12, 2008. And the San Francisco Weekly’s Eric K. Arnold was there to take down all the details. He got in while many skate heads were left standing in the street.
There was a lot of standing and milling around, and not much else to do but imbibe copious amounts of booze for a couple of hours. Hey, that’s what skaters do, brah. The open bar helped in this respect, although any efforts to actually get a drink within a reasonable time frame (say, under half an hour) were rebuffed by an apparently overwhelmed peroxide blonde bartender with a lip ring who became somewhat of a Seinfeld-esque “Beer Nazi,” arbitrarily granting or denying requests to be served based on…well, who knows what was going through that dude’s head.
So you’re saying we didn’t miss anything? We mean aside from Too $hort.
