Sunday night was the night for the closing day X-Games afterparties.
My roommate and I grabbed a friend and headed out to start the night off early at The Standard Downtown for the DC Shoes/Monster Energy rooftop party. I always enjoy rooftop parties there, plus who can argue with an open bar, some free food, and good company?
It was also amusing possibly weirding out a stranger who decided to challenge me to a staring contest in the tiny elevator. (I won, for those who are wondering).
We stuck around for a good couple of hours before heading out to the Rolling Stone party at the Avalon… which… honestly, sucked. We watched a few minutes of the Mike Ness (Social Distortion) band, weren’t feeling the vibe, and headed home to call it a night.

As for the actual X-Games, neither my roommate or myself went this year. Corey Bohan came in 8th for the BMX Freestyle Superpark and unfortunately Dave Dillewaard had broken his elbow beforehand and couldn’t be a part of the competition.
Get well soon, Dave!
